W.S. Dennison Presented with Prestigious ‘Haulier of the Year’ Award

W.S. Dennison has been presented with a top accolade at the annual Export & Freight Transport & Logistics Awards.

The company was presented with the ‘Haulier of the Year’ award, sponsored by Mercedes Benz UK Ltd and Mercedes Benz Truck & Van (NI) Ltd, at a glittering ceremony at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on 14 September.

The criteria for the award included running a high quality, well-maintained fleet (of up to 50 vehicles) as well as being able to demonstrate “a good reputation for efficient, respected service” and offering “good business practice in all aspects of the operation”.

The judges felt that, although W.S. Dennison is not the typical haulier, the Company’s ability to carry out such specialist work in a niche sector of the transport and logistics market, and to such high customer service standards, made them worthy winners.

With 20 separate categories, the annual Transport & Logistics awards, organised by the Hillsborough based publishers of Export & Freight magazine, 4SM (NI) Ltd., is widely regarded as the premier event in the Irish Transport & Logistics calendar, attracting entries, support and sponsorship from all the leading players in the industry.

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
