Volkswagen Louth  

Western Motors was founded in 1964 by Jim McCormack.As a result of the sad passing away of Jim McCormack at the early age of 43 the company was taken over by Anne McCormack. Over the next 20 years Anne McCormack ran the business on a daily basis and successfully built on the foundations set by her husband in order to ensure that she could pass on a successful business to her children, this was no easy task at a time when the motor business was dominated by men. In 1989 Anne McCormack passed over the day-to-day running of the business to her son James McCormack and George Moran who became joint managing directors of the company. In 1992 James McCormack became managing director and George Moran took over the title of sales director, the two continued their successful business partnership together until 1998 when George retired from the business. In 1997 Simon McCormack rejoined the company as Operations Director and the company is now run by both James and Simon. The company has been a family business from the very start and is determined to stay that way. Over the years the company have represented Massey Ferguson, Austin, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen Passenger & Commercial, Skoda and more recently added SEAT & CUPRA. We are proud to have represented Volkswagen since 1984 in Galway and since 2007 in Drogheda, we have also represented the Skoda brand in Drogheda since 2012. We are looking forward to the future with great confidence and hope to look after your motoring needs for many years to come.
