Recognising outstanding achievements in logistics and transport in Ireland since 2010

When I saw the quality of the nominees tonight and the names on that shortlist, I knew that we were really in the premier league of Logistics and Transport companies. And for us to win awards at the end of the night, is absolutely fantastic.

Clare Distribution Services pride themselves on what they do and how they do it. We don’t want to be the biggest in the world, but we what to be the best at what we do and where we are. It gives you a profile to show off what you can do and how you can do it.

Coming up to the end of every contract, we’re looking at every way to stand out from the competition. We’re want to bid to operate the Luas for the next contract. So for us it’s a huge advantage to win awards like this. This is where you want to be. You want to set the standard, come to the Irish Logistic and Transport Awards, and win. That’s what you want to do.

We’re delighted to sponsor the awards, this is our third year of doing so. It’s a fantastic opportunity to reward those in terms of great innovation and excellence within the logistics sector, which is very important sector for our company.

We in DAF are a world class brand, and obviously the people here this evening are world class brands supplying to world class companies. We tend to operate in that A-Game, and it’s great to see so many people here that we can work with.

It’s great to really get in front of people, talk to them, listen to them about what’s going on in their business and explain how we consist with their business. And again the cream of the crop are here tonight, so it’s really positive to see the high level and calibre of fineness here tonight. It’s been a really great event.

I would highly recommend companies to get involved in the ceremony for this event. I think it's very valuable for business & recognition for what we do.

Winning this award is great, it gives us the credibility, the exposure that we like to see... Tonight we see many entrants, some disappointed, that was us a few years ago. I think yes, keep entering, you get the exposure by just being shortlisted.

Everyone's a winner here tonight, it was a fabulous evening. It is a great opportunity for people to be put forward.
