A million miles and 25 years on.
Paddy Kelly is legend in the agricultural parts business in Ireland. There is hardly a dealer workshop or parts shop in the country he doesn't' know and his winning smile, commitment and knowledge has been a major factor in the Vapormatic Company's success in Ireland.
Paddy completed 25 years service with Vapormatic on 15 August.
"Paddy is a 'one-off'. They really did throw away the mould after him" said Vapormatic's sales director Martin Mountstevens. Paddy's bonhomie, enthusiasm for his work and his attention to his customers' needs has never faltered throughout his 25 years with Vapormatic.
Paddy calculates that he has covered over a million miles for Vapormatic over the past 25 years but never tires of meeting his customers and brightening their day. The Vapormatic range of products he offers today are wide ranging - from 4-wheel drive axle parts to accessories, power take off shafts and oil. Vapormatic customers can now access and order their parts requirements live on the Internet using the VapPoint system, the customer service tool and on-line ordering system which has set new standards for the industry.
Mark Kostka, Vapormatic's Managing Director, made a presentation to Paddy at Vapormatic Ireland's, Dublin headquarters. Mark thanked Paddy for his excellent contribution to Vapormatic's growth, for his loyalty and total commitment to his customers' needs and for his fine performance, dedication and loyalty to the Vapormatic Ireland organization.
The Vapormatic Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of John Deere and distributes high quality replacement parts for all makes of tractors world-wide. Vapormatic Ireland has been established for almost 40 years.
