Following the recent announcement that Bosal UK had entered administration, Bosal Ireland is keen to stress to the Irish motor trade that it is totally unaffected by this event and is continuing to trade as normal.

Philip Flanagan, Managing Director of Bosal Ireland points out that the Irish operation is a totally independent entity from the UK company and is unaffected by the decision of the UK owners to enter administration. He said, “Despite the difficult economic conditions Bosal Ireland has enjoyed good success in recent years developing its customer base and diversifying its product portfolio.”

Phillip also stressed that product supply to Ireland would be largely unaffected as most Bosal Ireland products are now sourced from continental Europe.

Changing market conditions were cited as the main reason for Bosal UK entering administration, however, it seems likely that its future will be secured subject to a certain amount of restructuring.

Philip Flanagan says, “We will support the UK operation in any way we can over the coming months. With regards to Bosal Ireland, we are very optimistic about our future prospects and anticipate another successful year in 2013.”
