Volvo Cars Waterford is proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of our team members, Caolan Walsh and Liam Miskella, who represented Volvo Cars Ireland at the prestigious VISTA (Volvo International Service Training Awards) world final in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The VISTA competition is Volvo’s global initiative designed to recognise and reward excellence in aftersales service. It brings together the best teams from Volvo retailers around the world, spotlighting the top 1% of service professionals globally. To be selected to represent Ireland on this international stage is a tremendous honour – and Caolan and Liam did us all proud.
A Week to Remember in the Heart of Volvo
Their week in Gothenburg was nothing short of extraordinary. The pair joined national winners from around the world to take part in a packed schedule that celebrated Volvo's heritage, showcased its innovation, and tested their skills.
Highlights included:
A visit to the World of Volvo – an immersive journey through the brand’s history, values, and future vision.
A day at Hallered Proving Ground, where Caolan and Liam experienced the power of the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor on a racetrack.
A chance to test-drive an XC90 using a PlayStation controller – a cutting-edge demonstration of Volvo’s remote driving technology.
A ride in a fully autonomous Volvo EX90, offering a real-world glimpse into the future of mobility and self-driving vehicles.
Beyond the thrilling experiences, the event provided an invaluable opportunity to meet and collaborate with Volvo professionals from across the globe, all unified by a passion for quality, safety, and innovation.
A Testament to Our Team
