Malvern and West Chester native Shawn Welsh is the President of Welsh Automotive, where his main goal is to take care of the customers and team.

“I love every aspect of our business, and I am very grateful for growing our small business daily,” said Welsh.

Welsh, whose first job was at McDonald’s in Malvern at the age of 15, attended Great Valley High School and graduated in 2005. After high school, he attended the Automotive Training Center in Exton and graduated in 2007.

Welsh credits his team at Welsh Automotive with having the greatest impact on his career.

“Without them and their hard work, none of this would have been possible,” said Welsh.

Over the course of his career, Welsh is most proud of starting his own business.

“Over 8 years ago, my wife and I took the leap to start our own business with no customers, no employees, and very little resources, and we enjoy watching it grow,” he said. “Welsh Automotive now has multiple locations, over 5000 customers, and 14 employees. Taking care of our customers, team, and community has been the biggest reward for our success.”

Welsh’s favorite Chester County restaurant is Limoncello in West Chester.

Welsh and the rest of the 2024 Class of VISTA Millennial Superstars will be honored at the Awards Reception & Celebration on Thursday, May 9 at Penn State Great Valley, Malvern.
