Tanya Targett

Business Manager

When I started with Idealease in 2007, when we had just a small fleet.  Working with a range of diverse companies on their unique rental and leasing needs, we evolved into a leading truck leasing and rental company.

In 2011, I took the role of Rental Manager for Dawson Idealease, continuing to focus on the needs of our customers and managing our four BC Interior locations. I later took on additional responsibilities as Business Manager for Idealease, further expanding my impact on the organization.

I take pride in the loyal and long-lasting relationships I’ve built with customers across British Columbia, and I always look forward to creating more. Over the years, I’ve also been honored to receive multiple awards from Idealease Inc. for my contributions.
