“We have received a number of awards over the last few years but we are especially delighted to be considered for the Irish Transport and Logistics awards as it is recognition by the industry that we serve”.
Brian continues, “Furthermore, when you look at who else has been shortlisted in the same categories, it is a measure of how the Swilly Group has developed and grown as a company over the last few years”. “We are up against the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) for the Education award and companies such as Bus Eireann and the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) for the Communications Award”.
Brian also congratulated Sales and Delivery Manager Damian Kerin who has been short listed in the Future Achiever Award.
“Damian has done some excellent work for the Swilly Group since joining us a number of years ago.
“Working for the Swilly Group, he did an excellent job of organising the Bus Driver of the Year competition at the RDS on behalf of the Coach Tourism and Transport Council of Ireland and this has been acknowledged by his nomination.”
