WHERE IT STARTED
Horace Rhodes Kenworthy began his working life as a gear cutter in the Dagenham Ford factory, England. In 1918 Horace was asked to manage the gear cutting workshop in the newly opened Ford factory in Cork, Ireland. Horace agreed to take on the new challenge and soon after it became apparent that the Irish economy was less developed than the UK. It was this realisation that motivated Horace to save up and bravely go out on his own to start a new business. In 1921 Reliance began life as a sole trader business operating from the back of a Model-T truck. In 1925 Reliance became a limited entity.
