This week we had the pleasure of speaking with Stuart Callaghan of Donnelly Group. Donnelly Group has been synonymous with the motor industry in Northern Ireland since 1947, and has gone on to become the area’s largest family-owned motor retailer, with nine locations located across Northern Ireland. Donnelly Group was built on customer service instilled by its founder, Peter Donnelly, and ‘keeping the customer central to everything we do’ is still the focus across all Donnelly Group showrooms.
Stuart has been working for Donnelly Group for almost 6 years, starting as a manager in Vauxhall before moving to Jaguar Land Rover. For just over 2 years, Stuart has been manager of the Donnelly Group Dungannon Motorstore for both the Moy Road and M1 sites. Before joining Donnelly Group, Stuart was working in SERE for just over 10 years.
