Vinny Byrne has made an important addition to its sales team with Alan Kelly joining as technical sales representative. Alan has been involved in the motor trade since the age of twelve, having started part-time in his uncle’s breakers yard whilst still at school, before joining a mechanical apprenticeship at Bolton Street College. He has since worked in various key positions for businesses involved in parts and paint distribution, during which time he has developed particular knowledge and expertise in the bodyshop field.

Alan takes up his new position at an exciting time in the company’s development, having recently expanded with the opening of a major new outlet and refinish training centre in Athlone. Alan will take on particular responsibility for the development of the refinish side of the business, concentrating in particular on the Palinal waterbased refinish system. He will be mainly based in the South Dublin area.
