Bradley family celebrate 40 years motoring

Bradley Motor Works, the Land Rover, Jaguar and Honda dealers on the Dublin Road in Galway, are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the family business.

The dealership, originally founded by Bob Bradley in 1971. During that time three of Bob's children have joined him in the business - his son Robert and two daughters Gillian and Tara.

Joining them recently to celebrate was Deputy Mayor of Galway City, Cllr Tom Costello as well as representatives of Galway's business community including Paul Faller, Chairman of Galway City Business Association; Declan Dooley, President of Galway Chamber; Dearbhla Byrne, President of Network Galway; John Killeen of Lets Do It Galway' and John Coyle, Hygeia. Representatives of Land Rober/Jaguar Ireland attended and made a presentation to Bob acknowledging Bradley's achievement in reaching 40 years in business and the long-time relationship with the brand.

Representing the office of the Mayor, Cllr Tom Costello, commended the Bradleys on their continued success as a Galway family business contributing to the local economy and keeping a staff team in employment over many decades. Bradley's is quite unique in Ireland, being an indigenous family run motor business.

Bob Bradley said "We have many life-long clients who came to us first in the 1970s. In many cases, we now serve the next generation of their families'.
