Suzuki Ireland Fellowship Award 2026

Suzuki Ireland recently announced the winners of its 2026 Dealer of the Year awards which were held at Powerscourt, Enniskerry, County Wicklow. The annual event celebrates dealerships across Suzuki Ireland's 26 strong dealer network that have consistently exceeded expectations and delivered exceptional customer service over the last 12 months.

A further and very special accolade announced at the evening event is the Suzuki Fellowship Award. This is handed out to a person from either within the Suzuki dealer network or from Suzuki themselves that have made a clear outstanding contribution to the company.

This year, the Fellowship Award was handed to Gerry Caffrey of Gerry Caffrey Motors who has dedicated 39 years as a solus Suzuki dealer and proudly been with the brand since the inception of Suzuki Ireland in 1987. Gerry Caffrey and his family have built up a true family business, and both his customers and colleagues are well known as staying with him for life for the way he looks after people with real care and attention.

David Kateley, Director Automobile, Suzuki GB PLC and Republic of Ireland, comments:
"Congratulations to Gerry Caffrey on a very well-deserved Suzuki Fellowship Award; for almost four decades, you and your family have built up something people really trust and want to stay part of and that's a lovely reputation to have earned.

Your contribution to the wider industry deserves recognition too having served as President of the Society of the Irish Motor Industry through the difficult years following the economic crash. On behalf of us all at Suzuki, thank you for everything you've given to the brand since the late 1980's and all while never having another franchise on site"
