TPN Ireland 20th Anniversary Meeting took place on Friday, 14th June 2024, at the Salthill Hotel on Ireland’s western coast. We were blessed with sunshine and fabulous surroundings for our meeting, and we kicked everything off with a presentation to our network partners, without whom none of this would be possible.
While some partners have only joined The Pallet Network in 2024, there are still six founding partners. We wanted to recognise the founders, celebrate all the partners, and welcome the newest members of the family. Before presenting certificates to each Depot (with the year of joining the network), Eamon Sullivan mentioned a few staggering statistics. TPN Ireland 20th Anniversary Meeting sees us with a collective 325 years of experience within The Pallet Network. (For fear of making everyone feel very old, he did not mention the collective years of experience in the freight industry!)
It is remarkable to see that while two partners joined the network only this year, TPN still has a median partnership length of 15 years. That kind of experience, and consistency is a huge boon in the industry.
Presentations were made to the original partners who were there on the 8th June 2004, the first night of TPN Ireland. Representatives from AM Logistics, Breffni Couriers, DHT / Tuckmill Transport, Independent Express Cargo, Langan Couriers, & Liam Connolly Roadfreight said a few words reflecting on the past, the present, and the bright positive future for the network.
