Strengthening Fresh Produce Logistics Between France and Ireland: HANNON Transport & Primever Visit Dublin & Belfast

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming our partners from GROUPE PRIMEVER to Dublin and Belfast for a series of insightful meetings with local importers and wholesalers. It was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen relationships, discuss the evolving needs of the fresh produce sector, and showcase the impact of our new France-to-Ireland Groupage Service.

A special thanks to North Down Group for hosting us bright and early and providing a great environment for productive discussions about the future of fresh produce logistics. 🍎🍋🍊
