Focused on Furniture

Regarded as the leading furniture storage and logistics company in Ireland, W. S. Dennison Ltd continues to grow and expand its business activities, with future plans to enlarge its site on the Rathenraw Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Antrim.

The company, which specialises in providing furniture logistics services to manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and international and multinational retailers, is also adding several new vehicles and a number of new trailers to its already impressive fleet of around 30 rigid and articulated trucks and almost 60 bespoke trailers.
Founded in 1979 by Managing Director William Dennison who was quickly joined by Transport Manager Liam Taggart, the company’s main hub is based in Antrim, but it does have a satellite depot in Limerick, enabling it to provide distribution to all of Ireland.

The company originally operated out of a rent warehouse just across the road before moving into its currently owned premises in 2005, while its Limerick facility, where a team of eight people are presently employed, was established two years later.
Its two purpose built furniture storage warehouses incorporate a total of 50,000 sq ft, allowing the company to de-stuff goods and consolidate these into viable loads for delivery to various locations across the country, using its own warehousing and
driving staff; no part of the operation is contracted out, which means the company has full control over the entire process.
Every week, furniture arrives at both the Antrim and Limerick depots from England, Scotland and Wales and from all over the world, from countries such as Italy, Romania, Germany, Spain and China, with thousands of deliveries being made to various regions across the country.
For example, deliveries are made to the Dublin area three or four times every week, the west coast of Ireland is covered twice a week and trucks travel down to Limerick once a week.

Profile

FOCUSED ON FURNITURE

 

W.S. Dennison Ltd is the leading furniture storage and logistics company in Ireland.

We specialise in providing furniture logistics services to manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and international and multinational retailers.  Traditionally, our focus was on transporting goods from retailers and manufacturers to stores, but later diversified into home delivery.  Having established an excellent reputation with our customers in the logistics sector, we realised that our expertise could also be applied to domestic and commercial removals.

Founded in 1979, W.S. Dennison remains family-owned and operated, but with the support of a team of 30+ dedicated and highly trained personnel.  We pride ourselves on providing a unique and personalised service.

At W.S. Dennison, we are not your typical Haulier.  Because all we do is furniture (and some white goods), our entire supply chain is set up solely to facilitate the transportation and storage of delicate and high value furniture items.

Operating from two strategically-located and purpose-built warehouses in Antrim (Northern Ireland) and Limerick (Republic of Ireland), which offer a combined 50,000 sq ft capacity, has allowed us to establish a reputation for reliability in the Irish marketplace because we are one of the few companies that can accommodate deliveries throughout the whole Island of Ireland.

Our large vehicle fleet is bespoke to the particular demands of the furniture sector and loading and unloading of goods is, in the main, carried out manually.  We do not use any form of mechanical aide and provide two-man delivery on every job.  All of this minimises the risk of contamination or damage of goods in our care.  Because we use only our own in-house team of highly trained and experienced warehouse operatives and drivers, we can offer full traceability and accountability, from manufacturer/retailer collection to end-user delivery.  All delivery operatives are fully uniformed in branded clothing, and all vehicles are fully liveried in the striking W.S. Dennison colours.

We offer collection from anywhere in the UK and delivery to retail outlets or end-users in every corner of Ireland.  Our full range of services for retail delivery include full loads, part loads, ‘de-stuffing’ / reconsolidating, collections/returns and stock control, but we also specialise in two-man, ‘white glove’ home deliveries.

Since our beginnings in 1979, we have grown to become the leading and most well-respected furniture storage and logistics companies in Ireland, but remaining family-run, we pride ourselves on the level of precision, reliability and consistency provided in our service.

Our services include:

  • Furniture and white goods logistics and storage
  • Retail deliveries
  • Two-man home deliveries
  • Storage and warehousing
  • Residential and commercial removals and storage
