The Opel cars franchise has returned to County Meath after an absence of 12 years, with the appointment of James Reilly as dealer principal for Navan Opel on the Kells Road, writes Brian Byrne.
With over 37 years in the Irish motor retail trade, Reilly began his career in the agricultural area holding various tractor agencies, prior to procuring the Navan property in 1986, where he distributed SAME tractors.
He acquired the Ford franchise in 1994, working alongside his son Michael for over 25 years, first retailing Ford light commercial vehicles, followed by passenger cars. His daughter Linda will succeed her father there as dealer principal. James's other daughter Nicola leads the Aftersales department of the family business.
