Hi, I’m Anthony, I joined LKQ Euro Car parts in October as an Account Manager. I hail from near Dungarvan. Father of three grown up kids, one a county hurler. It’s been great getting out to meet customers and getting great feedback from them which helps us improve what we do. The

support from my colleagues has been fantastic and I look forward to seeing these accounts grow in the future.

We are not taking any new applications this close to end of year but make sure to have your applications ready for January 2024. Whether it’s supporting a youth club, tidy towns committee or a local homeless support charity or initiatives like the above make sure to get involved and be sure to share the details so we can highlight in our next colleague update. Scan the QR code for details of how to use the fund. Christmas Presents for Ukraine We are so proud to say that we have raised €2,185 to purchase Christmas presents for the children in Ukraine who have been displaced and impacted by the war. We appreciate things can be a little tight this time of year so to achieve this amount for others in need is fantastic. Thank you!

A whopping 42% of all positions filled in the last two months have been internal promotions. It is so encouraging that we can grow our business from within and hope to see much more succession across our Regions next year.

COMMUNITY

We have seen lots of activity in local communities over the last 2 months. Our Pouladouff team were the winners of a free lunch with the local radio station, Red FM. Our Team in Nenagh took part in Movember and have raised over €3,100, for mental health charities and to raise awareness for Men’s Mental Health. Well done team.

At LKQ Euro Car Parts we pride ourselves on building connections in our own community. Our Community Fund is a great way to give back. Each Branch has the opportunity to give €500/£500 to a deserving local initiative.
