| McKeary Motors is a family business, founded
in 1974 by Hugh McKeary. Hugh started in the motor industry
on leaving school in 1953.
Beginning on a message
bicycle working for a local Garage in the town of Coleraine,
his flair for the trade was such that he was asked to join
the sales team around 1960.
By 1974 he felt it was time to step out on his own, and rented
small premises in Coleraine (Martin's Brae), where he acquired
the Opel franchise.
In 1976 a Greenfield site became available on the outskirts
of Coleraine near Macosquin where he decided to build his
own premises complete with Workshop, Bodyshop and Parts Department.
Opel and Vauxhall amalgamated around 1982 and things remained
constant until 1996 when the business further expanded with
the addition of a larger showroom. |
