Neil Connolly, dealer principal of Audi Sligo, has won the prestigious ‘Sligo Entrepreneur of the Year’ award at the ‘Sligo People of the Year Awards’. Neil will receive this award at the Gala Presentation, which will take place in The Radisson Blu Hotel, Sligo, on Friday 28th of September.

Neil’s vision as dealer principal of Audi Sligo and his commitment to the Audi brand has seen him (and his brother Kevin) invest €5 million in a sophisticated state-of-the-art terminal over the past 12 months, which has resulted in the creation of 20 jobs in the local area. It is from this showroom where Neil has been setting new standards in motoring service excellence– a truly remarkable set of achievements against a backdrop of such challenging times.

Andrew Doyle, managing director of Audi Ireland, commented: “Audi Ireland would like to congratulate Neil on this prestigious award. It is an outstanding achievement and well deserved through hard work and innovation, consistent with the Audi Brand values. Neil has demonstrated his commitment to the Audi brand through his recent long-term investment in the Audi Sligo terminal and his diligence on a day-to-day basis in delivering motoring service excellence to the North West region.”
