Program sponsor Rosslare Europort recently acknowledged South Coast Logistics’ continued investment and progress in expanding its facilities, fleet, and services with its Fleet Transport Irish Hauler of the Year award for 2025.
Representatives from the Irish ISO tank specialist accepted the prize Oct. 10 during the 18th Fleet Transport Awards Gala Banquet.
Earlier in the evening, the family-owned firm won the National Hauler title.
On receiving these awards, Richie O’Flynn, South Coast commercial director, expressed his immense pride, saying he and his team were “over the moon” to win what is widely regarded as the most prestigious prize in the Irish road transport industry. “Winning these awards is a tremendous achievement,” O’Flynn said in a news release. “Securing the National title of Hauler of the Year 2025 is special, but being named the Overall Irish Hauler of the Year 2025 is truly extraordinary.
“These recognitions are a testament to the hard work and dedication of two generations of our family business, which my parents founded in 1975. We continue to uphold their principles of innovation and exceptional service while focusing on future growth and investment beyond our Fermoy headquarters.”
