The event, an informal gathering of colleague and friends, gives key members of the motoring press an opportunity to discuss plans for the year ahead. It is also an opportunity to enjoy the company and anecdotes of football legend McCarthy, who as he did in 2019 regaled the assembled press and motoring industry guests with lessons learned from the world of elite sport as well as his own fondness for all things motor-related.

As always Harris Group was delighted to be afforded the opportunity to host the event, showcasing the company’s now fully-completed showrooms and office campus on the Naas Rd. Among Harris Group senior executives in attendence were Denise Harris (CEO), John McEvoy (COO), Mark Barrett (General Manager LDV Ireland & UK), Robert Ryan (General Manager Isuzu Ireland), Michael Meenan (Group Parts Manager) and Keith Mooney (Group Aftersales Manager) as well as numerous other team members, guests, friends and family.

It was especially gratifying to note the comfort and grace with which McCarthy engaged with all present, even taking the time to visit the staff canteen for a cuppa and a natter with those present!
