The thriving, family-run independent new and used car dealership based in Roscommon Town, has achieved Young Motor Entrepreneur of the Year 2021 Accreditation from the All-Ireland Business Foundation.

Business All-Star accredited companies are defined as; progressive, indigenous Irish businesses which meet the highest standards of verified performance, trust and customer-centricity.

This is an independently verified standard mark for indigenous businesses, based on rigorous selection criteria. The Accreditation is overseen by the prestigious All-Ireland Business Foundation, whose adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes of the Kemmy Business School at the University of Limerick and Kieran Ring, CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics.

We are absolutely thrilled and over the moon to receive this Accreditation. This is a massive achievement for myself and for all the team here at Conor Cassidy Cars! Getting this Accreditation as “Young Motor Entrepreneur of the year” would not have been possible without the hard work & commitment of all the team. We are hopeful for many more accolades and achievements for our business, says Owner, Conor Cassidy.

Dr Hynes said the Accreditation, which is now held by over 450 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards, but have nothing to measure them by.

“We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics”, she says.

Conor Cassidy Cars was established in 2019 and since then, it has rapidly grown from strength to strength. They have over 35 quality cars in stock at any given time and that number is growing from week to week. They have a small but efficient team that runs the show seamlessly. The business feels that 2021 is going to be a big year for them with plans in progress to take their business to the next level to include a state of the art sales, services and parts area.

The All-Ireland Business Foundation is a national body which accredits best-in-class Irish businesses as Business All-Stars. The Foundation also oversees the All-Ireland Business Summit while promoting peer dialogue amongst our members on an ongoing basis.
