Adams of Glin’s Peugeot lifetime achievement award


Adams of Glin, Main Peugeot Dealer for Co Limerick, has been presented with a Peugeot lifetime achievement award in recognition of 50 years with the Peugeot franchise, writes Trish Whelan.

The presentation was made to father and son, Sean and Shane Adams, at a black-tie event to mark Gowan Distributors (Peugeot Importer in Ireland) 50 years in business.

Held at the Intercontinental Hotel Dublin on 30 November, the celebrations were attended by 222 staff, shareholders, the Smith-Maughan family and board members, representatives from the PSA Group from Paris and the Peugeot Dealer Network of Ireland.

Des Cannon, Managing Direction, Peugeot Ireland said: “On the occasion of our 50th anniversary, it has given me great pleasure to see Adams of Glin presented with this lifetime achievement award to mark the 50 years we have shared together as partners. Gowan Distributors has thrived for half a century, thanks to the loyalty, tenacity and passion of our Dealer partners and I thank Adams of Glin for their unwavering support and the crucial part they have played to build a strong Peugeot profile in Co Limerick over five decades.”

He added that Shane Adams and his team have demonstrated continued drive and energy to bring the lion-brand to new heights in the county. He congratulated them on another ‘incredible performance’ in 2019.

Peugeot holds a steady 6.4 per cent of the total new car and van market in Limerick in 2019.

On behalf of his father and himself, Shane Adams thanked Gowan Distributors for their support and encouragement and congratulated them on ‘their wonderful history thus far in Ireland’. He added: “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every customer who came through our door this year without whom we would not be celebrating this award. I thank my entire team at Adams of Glin who work so hard to put our customers first every time.”

Sean Adams served his time as a mechanic in his youth before starting the Adams of Glin business in the 1940s as a motor service operation. It soon developed into a second hand car sales outlet and following a period of rapid success, Sean was aptly appointed to the Peugeot Dealer Network in 1969. The dealership has carried the blue flag for the lion-brand in Co Limerick ever since.

Opel’s Vivaro goes electric

Opel continues its electrification offensive with the Vivaro van to also be offered in a pure battery electric version as of 2020, writes Trish Whelan . The Vivaro-e extends Opel’s range of particularly efficient light commercial vehicles. Customers can then choose between two sizes of battery, depending on their needs: a 50kWh battery for a range of up to 200kms or a 75kWh battery for up to 300km (according to WLTP). With emission-free deliveries becoming increasingly important in urban areas, the demand for purely electric light commercial vehicles will increase accordingly.   The Vivaro-e is based on the group’s variable MP2 platform which enables the use of conventional as well as electrified powertrains. The Opel Vivaro No. 3 is available in three lengths instead of two (4.60 metres, 4.95m and 5.30m); has a 200kg higher payload of up to 1,400kgs and can pull half a ton more (trailer load up to 2,500kg). Most versions of the new Vivaro are also o...

Alcosense Lite 2 breathalyser for ‘morning after’

Christmas is the season of office parties and catching up and celebrating with friends and family. However, over-indulging the night before can mean it is easy to have alcohol in your system the next morning. Over 1,000 arrests for drink driving were made over the Christmas period last year and the new laws which came into effect over a year ago mean that first-time drink-driving offenders will be automatically banned from driving for three months if caught with between 50 - 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, equivalent to 0.22 - 0.35 milligrams of alcohol per litre of breath. Previously, drivers caught at these levels received three penalty points and a fine … but no driving ban. Now you can test yourself the next morning with the AlcoSense Lite 2 digital personal breathalyser. Designed in the UK by racing driver and businessman Hunter Abbott, it gives you clear results in seconds. All you need for a reading is to turn the unit on, wait for ...
