Update on Dublin Depot Expansion

As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing our facilities and services, we are pleased to provide an update on the expansion of our Dublin depot at Blakescross. The construction work, which commenced earlier this year, is progressing well and is set to significantly enhance our operational capabilities.

This ambitious development forms a key part of HANNON Logistics’ long-term growth strategy, designed to reinforce our leadership in logistics and supply chain services, particularly within the fresh produce, meat, and dairy sectors. The additional infrastructure will enable us to meet the growing demands of Irish exporters while bolstering our customer base across both Ireland and Europe.

Key Developments at the Dublin Depot

Construction at our Dublin site is well advanced, with the following underway:

• Five New Loading Bays: The introduction of five additional loading bays is central to optimising cross-docking and consolidation operations. These new facilities will significantly increase our capacity, allowing us to process shipments more efficiently and reduce turnaround times. This expansion will ensure we maintain our reputation for on-time delivery, further enhancing the reliability of our logistics network.

• Upgraded Office Spaces: Alongside the expanded warehousing facilities, we have also undertaken a complete overhaul of our office spaces. These new facilities will support our logistics teams with dedicated areas for load planning, driver training, and enhanced operational functions. By creating more efficient work environments, we aim to increase productivity and foster job satisfaction across the organisation.

• Modernised Employee Amenities: We continue to prioritise the well-being of our staff, which is why we are introducing a range of modern amenities in the new facilities. These include a state-of-the-art gym, a comfortable canteen, upgraded shower rooms, and modern meeting spaces. Such improvements are designed to foster a healthier, more productive workplace, helping our team perform to the highest standard.

Collaboration with Key Partners

The construction project is being managed in partnership with S&E Contracts Ltd., and we are pleased to report that work is progressing according to plan. We remain confident that the development will be completed within the projected timescales, ensuring minimal disruption to our operations.

Throughout the project, we have been incorporating the latest technologies and innovations to maximise operational efficiency. The upgraded depot will feature state-of-the-art systems to enhance logistics management, providing us with greater visibility and control across our operations. This will enable us to further improve service reliability while maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.

Looking Ahead

This expansion represents just one element of HANNON Transport’s broader Infrastructure Development Programme. Over the next 18 months, we will continue to roll out similar upgrades across our network of facilities, ensuring that our operations remain at the forefront of industry standards. Our ongoing investment in infrastructure, technology, and personnel will enable us to offer even more reliable, scalable, and efficient temperature-controlled logistics solutions to our growing client base.

At HANNON Transport, we remain committed to innovation, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction. The expansion of our Dublin depot is a key milestone in this journey, and we are excited to see how the new facilities will enhance our service offerings.

Stay tuned for further updates as the project progresses — the future of logistics is being built now, and we look forward to sharing the next chapter with you.
