Our Team

Meet the team

Marcus Aldersley

Vehicle Specialist 

Marcus has over 15 years experience in the car towing industry. When he’s not in a tow truck you’ll find him on his very quick Harley Wideglide or tinkering with his Mazda RX7 with a 350 Chev that has minor traction problems… 

Marcus is married to (the long suffering) Theresa and is proud dad to Danni and Ethan.

Daryl Baker

Vehicle 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

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

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
