There was much cause for celebration recently when Martin Boyle Haulage celebrated 40 years on the road.
From humble beginnings, the West Donegal firm has established itself as one of the leading haulage companies in Europe.
Friends, family and colleagues gathered in the Caisleáin Óir Hotel on Friday last to remember the wonderful years enjoyed behind the wheel of the company based in Bunbeg and looked forward to another 40 years at least.
Clive Wasson was on hand to capture all the pictures.
