Toyota Long Mile recently opened a state of the art 11-vehicle showroom which showcases the full Toyota passenger and commercial vehicle range.

The announcement therefore comes at a time of great excitement for all connected with the flagship Toyota Dealership. Toyota Long Mile is the first Toyota Dealership in the country which features Toyota's New Retail Concept which offers customers an immersive, seamless retail experience, encompassing a combination of physical, human and digital touch points.

Rhys Ruddock is considered one of the most promising young talents in Irish Rugby and the Leinster flanker has already won 5 caps for his country while Dean Rock has cemented his place as a regular starter for a Dublin side bidding for All-Ireland honors this year, playing an integral part in their campaign.

Commenting on the announcement, Dean Rock said: "The Toyota Auris is a fantastic car to drive and I am really enjoying it. I'm delighted to represent Toyota Long Mile as an ambassador and wish the team here the very best in their new flagship site."

Rhys Ruddock echoed those sentiments in saying: "I'm really pleased to work with Alex and his team in Toyota Long Mile. The new dealership is really impressive and I've no doubt it is going to be hugely successful."

Alex Burns, Dealer Principal at Toyota Long Mile said, "We're thrilled to welcome both Rhys and Dean on board here at Toyota Long Mile and look forward to working with them both in the future as we continue to grow our business. Toyota Long Mile reflects the changing needs and demands of the customer by offering a rewarding and immersive retail experience at the heart of everything that we do. With the help of our newly Brand Ambassadors we will continue to reach out and offer our customers and prospective customers the very best service to suit their needs."
