Two long-standing staff members at Airton Ford on Airton Road in Tallaght were recently the recipients of prestigious awards from Ford Ireland in recognition of their service to the blue oval.

Service Manager Peter Mahon and Paul Byrne, accompanied by their wives Jo and Janet, accepted the awards from Ford Director Dave Pimlott for 30 years’ service to the brand in the aftermarket area. Peter, who lives in Killiney, and Paul, who hails from the local area, have both spent their entire careers to date with the Ford dealership.

A new accolade, the Ford Dealer Employee Recognition award acknowledges highly valued and long-standing personnel within the Ford aftersales network.

“Our servicing and repairs operation here at Airton is award-winning and has gained a well-earned reputation for the consistency and quality of the work we carry out,“ said Paul Molloy of Airton Ford. “That reputation is the direct result of the experience and knowledge of staff like Peter and Paul. They are the backbone of the operation and it is fitting that their
contribution to the company be celebrated in this way.”

“It was a great honour to recognise Peter and Paul for their continuous service to one of Ford Ireland’s landmark dealerships, and to thank them for their professionalism, dedication and loyalty to the Ford brand,“ commented David Pimlott of Ford Ireland. “Peter Mahon and Paul Byrne are acknowledged and commended by the Company for their hard work and
contributions towards Ford Ireland becoming one of the most successful customer service providers in Europe, and for also helping to put the Ford logo amongst the top ten reputable brands in the country.”
