Kverneland Group Ireland and the Irish machinery trade were shrouded in darkness with the loss of colleague and dear friend Paraic McCarthy earlier this summer, who is and will continue to be sadly missed.

Paraic joined Kverneland Group in 2007 as Key Account Manager for the Vicon range of Grass and Cropcare equipment. He made an immediate impact, growing sales and appointing several new dealers due to his dedication and commitment. Paraic was then promoted to product manager for forage and feeding in 2010 before taking up a key role in product R&D within the Kverneland Group for Forage Equipment.

Paraic’s colleagues described him as an inspirational leader and a driving force within the team. The group would like to express their gratitude for the kind messages of support since Paraic’s passing.

To Paraic’s wife Anne and both the McCarthy and Kennedy families, we extend our deepest sympathy.
