Ford in Ireland has changed its company registered address to a modern office building, “Part of Fifth Floor, Penrose One, Penrose Dock, Cork City”. Corkonians will better recognise this address as “Penrose Quay”. It looks across at the Port of Corks listed Bonded warehouses.
Henry Ford & Son Ltd is the legal name of the Irish arm of the Ford Motor Company. It boasts an annual turn over of €334m per year.
Ford closed its Marina, Cork factory in 1984 with the loss of 800 jobs. In 1987 Ford moved offices to Elm Court, Boreenmanna Road, Cork, T12 HHW2.
Lisney Commercial Estate Agents are now offering for rent the first floor of Elm Court “from €120,000” per year.
Estate agent photos show some signs that this office was used by Ford.
