and Coca-Cola. “We have developed a one-stop shop capability over the years and our main objective is to provide a complete transport package for our customers.” Brian Daly Transport Services Ltd is proud to be CocaCola’s main distributor for Ireland, delivering in the region of five million cases of Coca-Cola products annually. Having initially signed a three-year contract with the soft drinks company in 2011, the contract was renewed for another three years in November and this is something Martin is obviously delighted about. “It just goes to show the level of service we provide when a huge global company like Coca-Cola has decided to put its trust in us for another three years,” he enthuses. Always immaculately turned out, the Daly fleet is a mixture of articulated curtain-side, rigid curtain-side and rigid box-side vehicles. All of the trucks are equipped with tail lifts, driver and helper (when required), power pallet trucks and vehicle tracking system. Approximately 90 per cent of the fleet is Renault, with Mercedes Benz and Scania making up the remainder.

Needless to say, Brian Daly Transport enjoys an excellent relationship with Setanta Sales and its owner Harry Nash. Of the 33 trailers, 21 are curtain-siders with the remaining 12 being skeletal trailers for container work. The trailers are divided between SDC and Fruehauf. All drivers are trained to very high standards and must adhere to the Brian Daly Transport Services’ Driver Excellence Program. Each driver is fully trained in manual handling, power pallet truck and current cpc. All drivers complete daily vehicle defect books to ensure that all vehicles are maintained to a high standard. The drivers are fully uniformed and trained to not only live by the Daly logo which adorns each truck, but to be ambassadors for the company’s brand. Brian Daly
