Having worked in Telecoms from 2000 selling from phone cards and different related products one day I realised I wanted to work for myself! It was 2006 and I was working for Eircom (Irelands biggest telco company at the time) for about 1.5 years when I said ENOUGH—I wanted my own gig! I had known Paul for years and who was also at a crossroads so we hatched a plan. We both loved cars so that was it. I wanted to get some experience in the trade so I went for a job in a car main dealer. Funny this—they were suspicious as to why I was taking such a large pay cut, so they declined the position. My response was “your grand I’ll do it myself, thanks for your time!”. About a year of research and finding our angle ‘dreamcars.ie’ was born. Our goal to source cars for clients, the spec they actually want and to treat them better than anyone else ever! In 2013 after the world fell apart (2008-2012) we held on with our fingernails focussed on our goals and hopped on a plan to the UAE (to knock on doors literally). We were still selling from DCHQ Dublin but we wanted to expand. We still do some business in Dubai and we love it out there and have some great friends and clients. 2016 saw our entrance into the emerging EV market after importing some Tesla cars for clients. Mind blowing as the Tesla was it started to form another plan for the future. This was effectively the DCEV evolution. Albeit a slow transformation we became the go to for EVs (mainly Tesla as they were the only show in town). Since then we’ve sold a lot of EV’s across the board and gained invaluable knowledge for our present and future clients. 2020 has bought us into the world of E-Mobility as a whole, solar and renewable energy. We are working with the biggest names in the market to provide and all-inclusive package among a number of new products for clients. We are helping companies transition their fleet into EV’s. This is very rewarding. 2021 and beyond sees the launch of the all new DCEV website, a fully EV dedicated website where you can buy a car, sell a car, buy private or busines solar, renewable energy, home chargers, up-to-date independent car reviews whist also joining the ever growing DC EV community. The future is very bright and we want to bring everybody with us on our journey—with community at centre stage. I’ll write another bio in 10 years!
