ŠKODA Ireland has announced that Ryan Motor Power in Clonmel has claimed the coveted ‘Dealer of the Year’ award for 2016.

Ryan Motor Power, based just off the N24 Road in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary beat off stiff competition from 26 other ŠKODA dealers nationwide to land the much sought-after title for delivering an outstanding performance over the last year.

Ryan Motor Power was established in Clonmel in 1999 by partners Michael Ryan and Ronan Power. In 2011 they became the fully authorised ŠKODA dealership for Tipperary. Following on from a number of successful years in business, last year Ryan Motor Power unveiled a new state-of-the-art corporate style showroom.

With a reputation for quality and customer service, Ryan Motor Power continue to grow the company into a one-stop motor retail outlet in Clonmel, specialising in car sales and service, parts and vehicle recovery. They pride themselves on the level of after-sales care they offer to all their loyal customers and look forward to providing the same level of care to all their new ones.

In addition they also sponsor the Tipperary GAA team kit transport and are also proud sponsors of the Tipperary Club members draw. Cycling is also an important part of their local sponsorship where they support the Slievenamon Cycling club.

A statement issued by the delighted Dealer Principals says: "We are delighted to be recognised by ŠKODA as ‘Dealer of the Year’. This is a testament to the hard work and effort that each member of the team has put in over the past year. To be recognised as number one in Ireland is fantastic. The standards in the ŠKODA network are very high, which is evident from our new showroom here in Clonmel and it is an honour to accept this award on behalf of everyone at Ryan Motor Power."

Also commenting, John Donegan, Brand Director, ŠKODA Ireland, said: "We are thrilled to announce Ryan Motor Power as the ŠKODA ‘Dealer of the Year’. Ryan Motor Power is a consistent performer in every area of the business and each member of staff deserves tremendous credit for the hard work and effort put in."
