Reliance marks its 100-year milestone as a trusted partner in engineering, innovation, and community. From humble beginnings to a legacy of reliability, this is their story…
In 1922, Horace Rhodes Kenworthy began a journey that would define Reliance’s place in Ireland’s industrial history. Starting as a sole trader selling bearings and automotive spare parts from the back of a Model T truck, his vision grew into a company that now operates across four modern facilities totalling 55,000 sq ft of warehousing. Still proudly family-led, Reliance embodies resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to serving its customer base with unmatched dedication.
“Now in its fourth generation of family leadership, Reliance continues to exemplify resilience, adaptability, and an unwavering commitment to serving its customers with an unmatched level of service and dedication.”
Peter Creighton, Managing Director

From supporting industry and agriculture in the early days to becoming a technical leader in cutting-edge engineering solutions, their story is one of consistent growth and diversification. Through economic shifts, a world war and technological revolutions, Reliance has remained steadfast, providing 24/7-365 support to over 2,500 clients, and stocking a portfolio of over 40,000 products.

Whether delivering same-day dispatches or introducing innovative technologies, Reliance ensures efficiency and reliability is at the fore. Their customer-centric ethos sets Reliance apart, making them not just a supplier but a trusted partner.
