A group of hauliers in Ireland are advertising for others to join them in forming a new Irish freight alliance.
The allied carriers would work to and from a hub operation in the Irish midlands which would provide a freight and parcel distribution service for both Northern Ireland and the Republic.
Advertisements in the national press last week asked potential participants to supply details of the areas they cover, the equipment they use, and any other information they feel might be relevant.
Operators will be required to make an initial investment for set-up charges for the new business.
The carriers have engaged professional advisers BDO Simpson Xavier in Dublin to coordinate details from hauliers interested in joining the proposed alliance.
While BIM declines to identify the principals behind the move or give details of poten
tial members, it is known that there have been initial responses from a large number of operators.
Interested hauliers should contact BOO at Simpson Xavier Court, Merchants Quay, Dublin 8, phone 00 553 16110100.
