ennison Trailers' renowned customer care and attention came to the fore in advising Dungannon-based Cherry Drainage Pipes of specifying bespoke trailers for its operation. A business specialising in the manufacture and distribution of plastic drainage systems, the company recently bought six curtainsider semi-trailers, with the intention of using them to transport both their own goods and those of others. “We were confident that these would be perfectly suited to meet their needs. As we hoped, Cherry Drainage Pipes were delighted with their purchase. The company told us that not only were our products fantastic quality, but that we also made sure that they knew what to expect, and went over and above from the very start of our interaction,” explained David Dennison, Innovation Director at Dennison Trailers. “To us, there is no better endorsement than this: that the service we offer is so strong, our customers will recommend us to their contacts. It is something we are incredibly proud to have accomplished, and we hope that every one of our clients is equally satisfied with our service,” he added. Speaking on the advice and subsequent deal, Neal Martin, Cherry Drainage Pipes Transport Manager said: “The service we received from Dennison Trailers was exceptional, with all of their team going above
and beyond to meet our needs. Offering us a great customer experience from the start, the company really couldn’t do more for us.” Recently, the Dennison Group concluded the purchase of Metal Technology and Processing Limited (Mettech), located near Dennison Trailers Naas headquarters. Mettech, which was founded by Liam and Liz Young over 30 years ago, has been a key part of the supply chain to the Dennison Group over the years. Apart from the products it supplies to the Dennison Group, Mettech also serves some of Ireland's other leading original equipment manufacturers in the forklift, farm machinery and allied trades. Mettech supplies the bulk of the steel for the trailer beams as well as various sundry subassembly and finishing parts.
