The outgoing Farm Tractor and Machinery Trade Association (FTMTA) president Maurice Kelly has been in the machinery business for over 40 years.

His father, Terry, founded Kelly’s (based in Borris, Co. Carlow) in 1957, and Maurice and his brother Terry Jnr took it over in the late 1970s.

Now as 2025 draws to a close and Kelly's tenure at the helm of the FTMTA comes to an end, he takes a look back at his time as president of the association.
