• Former Northern Ireland haulier James Kirkpatrick is re-entering the road transport business with the acquisition of car transport specialist Martin Haulage.
Kirkpatrick, who now runs a secondhand truck business, is planning to offer car manufacturers a direct car delivery service from England to Northern Ireland.
He plans to operate six car transporters on five different cross-Irish Channel routes, including two new DAF 3600 ATi tractors and trailers, each capable of carrying eight cars.
Kirkpatrick says: "We don't see ourselves competing with existing car transport operations. Rather we will be complementing them to provide the garage trade with an alternative service."
