New Irish distribution hub
August 1st 2009

Irish transport operator, Brian Caffrey International, and UK based multi temperature supply chain specialist, Oakland International, have brokered a deal that is seeing Irish producers reap the rewards of an extended Irish retailer and UK transport link based at Ashbourne, Co.Meath.

Opened in May this year, the new depot operates from Brian Caffrey International's Ashbourne site, using its strategically located operation to deliver an extended multitemperature supply chain transport solution, enabling Irish producers to create greater Irish retail links while delivering the option of new routes to export and distribute to UK retailers using Oakland International's established presence and successful consolidation schemes.

A leading national and European Irish transport distribution operator, Caffrey is located close to the port of Dublin and Dublin Airport. Dean Attwell managing director of Oakland International stated that: "The Irish operation is set to create 40 jobs over the next 18 months, which is great news for the local economy and we are confident that it will be attractive to many Irish producers wishing to distribute throughout Ireland and the UK."
