Imbued with the ethos of Ford’s blue oval

The unexpected death of former Ford Ireland chairman and managing director Eddie Nolan last weekend has sent shockwaves through the motor industry all over Ireland.

One of the most widely known personalities in the motor trade over a period spanning nearly 50 years, Eddie was not only a hugely respected businessman, but well loved as a witty and charming character with a deep knowledge of all aspects of the motor business and much more besides.

Eddie was a company man in the best possible way. He worked with Ford all his life and was imbued with the ethos of the blue oval in all its many and varied endeavours.
