Ronnie Moloney, co-founder and managing director of TR Motors, this year celebrates a 50-year career in Mercedes-Benz service.  TR Motors, Harold¹s Cross, is a main authorised service dealer for Mercedes-Benz.

From Clonmel, Ronnie began working at age 16, taking up an apprenticeship with the then local Mercedes-Benz main dealer in Tipperary, King Keating. Immigrating to Canada he worked for the Mercedes-Benz of North America organization. Returning to Dublin he continued to work with Mercedes-Benz at Modern Motors, Rialto and later at Ballsbridge Motors.

In 1975, he co-founded TR Motors Limited, listing many prominent Mercedes-Benz owners amongst its client base, including numerous foreign diplomats and embassies.

In 1992, the company suffered a major setback when fire destroyed their original premises.  Heartened by the support of all concerned, the company undertook a complete re-development, to create the modern showrooms and extensive workshop and spare parts facility from which it now operates.

Today, Ronnie is supported in the business by his daughter Louise, son Gavin and a staff of 14.

Commenting on the milestone, Mercedes-Benz chief executive in Ireland, Stephen Byrne praised Ronnie and his team at TR Motors for their immense technical knowledge, expertise and skill that they bring to the service of Mercedes-Benz customers in Dublin city¹.
