Our Team
Meet the team
Ashlii Aitken
Towing and Recovery Specialist
David worked with Ashlii at Parks nearly a decade ago, and when we heard she was keen to get back into towing cars after having a baby, we didn’t muck around because skilled and professional tow truck drivers are rare and valuable.
She’s a petrolhead (like the rest of the team), so she’s going to take care of your pride and joy like it’s her own.
Daryl Baker
Towing and Recovery Specialist
Daryl is a Ford lover (nobody’s perfect) and handles anything that’s thrown at him with a smile. He loves towing cars almost as much as he loves cars, so if you have a sports or performance car that needs moving Daryl is your man.
He’s a proud Dad, keen fisherman and passionate follower of most motorsport, especially V8 Supercars.
Richard Martin
Towing System Support
Richard is our dispatch and systems coordinator extraordinaire.
He’s the only non-petrol-head in the team and has no idea why 350 is better than 351, but he’s good so we forgive him.
David Thompson
Owner and Tow Truck driver
I’ve driven tow trucks in Christchurch and Canterbury for more years than I care to remember and feel very lucky to have the opportunity to carry on the Ashley’s Tow Taxi story. I love towing in Christchurch and Canterbury
I’m ashamed to admit I don’t actually own a car, but I do have several tow trucks and a 2004 Triumph Thunderbird Sport (currently in pieces but everyone needs a project!).
Currently enjoying living in North Canterbury with my wife Nic (the Real Boss) and our very spoilt mini schnauzer.
I’m always keen to hear from our customers and really appreciate any feedback or suggestions about our service. Call me for a chat anytime on my private number 027 603 0387
