It was celebration time in Glenmore as Murphy’s Motors celebrated 65 years in business with an open evening.
The longest serving New Holland dealer in County Kilkenny, Murphy’s unveiled the T5.120 at the open evening, which is specifically tailored for dairy farmers given its increased power, loader and front axle capacity.
Through its ‘5 plus 60 for 65 years’ promotion, the first 12 New Holland tractors sold by Murphy’s Motors this year will qualify for an incredible offer of 1% finance over five years.
Customers of all ages and across several generations attended an open evening as Murphy’s, one of the South-East’s most popular tractor and farm machinery traders, marked their significant milestone.
“We were thrilled to have so many people pop into us for a cup of tea and a chat over the course of the evening,” said Bernie Murphy, who runs the family-owned enterprise alongside her brother Dick.
“Our customer base, primarily drawn from Kilkenny, Waterford and Wexford, has remained so loyal to us over the years.
Their support, combined with the expertise of our dedicated staff and the relationships we have developed and sustained with our valued suppliers, has made Murphy’s Motors what it is today. From a family perspective, this anniversary is also a very emotional one for both Dick and I thanks to the drive and determination of our late mother, Peggy, who laid such solid foundations for this company, and it’s been our honour to build on her legacy,” Bernie added.
