Northern Ireland-based Freeburn Transport has expanded its animal feed haulage operations following the award of a new contract with United Feeds, according to a report in Farming Life.

The operation involves transportation of animal feed from docks to the United Feeds mill in Dungannon, with onward delivery from the mill to farms across Ireland. Previously operated under the leadership of Gerard Loughran, who recently retired, the contract has now transitioned to Freeburn Transport.

Since taking on the contract, Freeburn has expanded the fleet dedicated to the United Feeds operation from eight trucks to twelve, increasing capacity and efficiency to support the farming community across Ireland. The expanded operation is being headed by Matthew Parks, who is overseeing day-to-day management and continued development of the service.

Managing Director Chris Freeburn stated: "This contract represents an important step in the continued growth and diversification of Freeburn Transport. Expanding the fleet allows us to provide a reliable, efficient service to United Feeds and to support the farming community across Ireland."

Freeburn acknowledged the work of Gerard Loughran, noting: "Gerard's commitment and professionalism created a strong foundation, and we are pleased to build on that as we move forward."

The contract marks a significant milestone for Freeburn Transport, strengthening its presence within the agricultural sector and reinforcing its commitment to supporting rural and farming communities across Ireland. Animal feed logistics requires precise scheduling and temperature management to maintain product quality whilst ensuring timely delivery to farm operations dependent on consistent feed supply.

Freeburn Transport operates across multiple sectors including construction, retail and agriculture, with fleet capabilities supporting both bulk and palletised cargo movements throughout Ireland and between Ireland and mainland Europe.
