"We may have changed our exterior looks and expanded on the current site but our interior values of caring, excellence of service and high standards of service still remain" 

Monaghan Brothers as a business has been in existence for over 50 years. Founded by the late Mr Jim Monaghan and his brother Joe they continued to develop their business and diversify into many aspects of the motor industry. As a result of their hard work and commitment to their business, Monaghan Brothers grew to become one of Northern Irelands best known car dealerships.

 
Below is a timeline showing some of the many changes this organisation has encountered during all its years in business.

 1957 – Car repairs began at Curryann Maguiresbridge Co. Fermanagh with Engine, brake and axle repairs.

 1960 – Saw the expansion of their car business with both car and tractor sales on the existing Curryann site.

 1970 – In this year the company purchased land in Lisnaskea on the main road into the town from Mr Gilbert Tunney. From this site in Lisnaskea the company opened up used car sales and became a retail dealer for opel UK through Eakins of Omagh.

 1968 -1971 – With a growing customer base the company found that the current Curryann site could no long accommodate their operations and so decided to purchase land on the main Dublin road into Enniskillen, where they also transferred their sales and service departments. They then however opened up a petrol station as well as a tyre centre. This was also the year that Mr Pat Monaghan joined the business.

 1971 – After three years of business on the Dublin road the company decided to move up a gear and purchased a site at Forthill Street in Enniskillen from Isaac Agnew in May 1971. This site was used for Volkswagen sales, service, parts, tyre repair and car hire. This was a very big year for Monaghan Brothers with a lot of big changes, not only did they relocate from their site on the Dublin road, they also decided to rename the business at this site to Modern Motors with Monaghan Brothers still residing at both Curryann and Lisnaskea.

 1972 – In this year the company not resting on their laures diversified into the sales of heavy commercial vehicles from Forthill Street. This year then saw the introduction of another new member to the team, Mr John Monaghan.

 1973 – Introduction of the Audi franchise for both sales and service at Forthill Street Enniskillen.

 1975 – To add to their already huge selection of used cars the Mitsubishi franchise was taken on board at the site in Lisnaskea.

 1978 – With big things in mind Modern Motors added another dimension to the business with the acquirement of Daihatsu UK.

 1979 – Monaghan Brothers in Lisnaskea add the world’s largest car manufacture to the portfolio Ford.

 1990 – The company adds Seat UK to their Enniskillen branch.

 1991 – This year seen the Lisnaskea branch take on the Korean car magnet Hyundai now known as HMUK.

 1994 – Man trucks were added to the already successful site in Enniskillen.

 1995 – 2002 – At this stage Monaghan Brothers has grown immensely over the last 45 years and holds some of the biggest UK franchises with Ford, Audi, Volkswagen, seat, Hyundai and Mitsubishi.

 2002 – This year seen the end of an era. All operations at the Enniskillen branch came to a stop and were sold to the Donnelly group (Dunngannon).

 2002 – Present Day – Till this day Monaghan Brothers name is still very much alive in Lisnaskea, with Ford Hyundai being well represented as well as a used car centre with over 60 quality used cars in stock backed by a fully functional accident repair centre and 24-hour recovery service.
