Wilsons of Rathkenny was delighted to welcome a group of 60 men from Larne, Ballyclare and Crumlin Farmers Union for a behind the scenes tour of the showrooms, workshops and Accident Repair Centre on Wednesday 3rd March 2010. The group were welcomed to Wilsons of Rathkenny by John Wilson, Managing Director, and a company overview was presented by Andrew Dickinson, Marketing Manager. Following the presentation the group was divided into 2 smaller groups and a 90 minute tour began which took the men, and women, through the showrooms, into the workshops where demonstrations involving the state of the art 4 wheel alignment machine were given to the group by Declan O’Neill, Vauxhall Service Manager. Next stop was the Agricultural Division where after viewing the tractors on display, Ian Stewart, Service Manager demonstrated how the dynamometer tests the power output of a tractor. A 30 minute tour of the Accident Repair Centre followed. Nigel Russell, Bodyshop Manager, talked the group through a fantastic display showing all the stages of repair from being damaged in an accident to being fully repaired. From spraying to welding the group of men were able to see the various stages in the repair process in action. The successful evening ended with a hot buffet being provided for the group who found the whole evening enjoyable and informative. John Wilson, Managing Director, comments “As Wilsons of Rathkenny is committed to providing solutions for the Northern Ireland Farmer, it was a privilege to have the men from Larne, Ballyclare and Crumlin Farmers Union with us on Wednesday evening. It was very encouraging to see the number of men, and some women, of all ages, who came along to tour our premises. We had a number of demonstrations arranged to give them an insight into what actually happens behind the scenes here at Rathkenny.”
