Brian Dwan bought Gaffey Motor Factors in 2002
‘A team effort’ Gaffey Motor Factors is a long established supplier of quality parts, tools and accessories for the automotive industry with locations in both Cavan and Monaghan. Irish Trucker caught up with Managing Director Brian Dwan to talk about the business which has been thriving as of late.
T
hriving in tough economic times is no easy feat and Brian Dwan at Gaffey Motor Factors knows that as well as any business owner. Since buying the company in 2002, Brian has watched it come through both the good times and the bad to where it currently stands. He is happy to report that Gaffey Motor Factors are currently experiencing the former at this moment in time. It’s no surprise either when you consider Brian’s background in the business, having learned from some of the best in the industry. “I started in Moffett Engineering in Clontibret and got approached by an automotive company,” he explained. “Albert Berry Motors is where I got my education and when this company came up for sale I was encouraged to buy it. I had to cross a lot of hurdles to make it a success and a blend of youth and experience is hard to beat - I think that’s the secret with this kind of business.
