What's the news?
Fort Motors has expanded its presence in the Dublin car market to four outlets, with the opening of Fort Motors Blanchardstown. The new premises, a Ford dealer of course, is located in the Coolmine business park, not far from the Blanchardstown shopping centre.
Sales Manager Paul Nugent, who has been with the Fort Group for 10 years, says: "We are delighted with the response so far. Right from the first day we have been busy - it's clear that people in the area are happy that the site is open again for sales and service. Also, with the shopping centre attracting people from far and wide, our reach extends to a commuter belt well beyond Blanchardstown itself. We are something of a gateway to the capital."
With four dealerships now in operation, the Fort Motor Group is planning a dedicated commercial vehicle centre for later in the year. The Group was established 56 years ago this month by Chairman Cyril Molloy on the Cromwellsfort Road in Walkinstown, and are among the longest-standing Ford dealers in the country.
