Nightline has opened a new depot in North City Business Park, Dublin 11. The company said the facility represents an investment of €2m in sorting and infrastructure.
The new depot will be used exclusively for Nightline’s Parcel Motel operations, which has 160,000 users.
John Tuohy, Nightline CEO, said: “More than 160,000 individuals have subscribed to the Parcel Motel service and we have handled close to two million parcels on their behalf in the last year.
“Parcel Motel facilitates the growing demand of online shoppers in Ireland and our continued development and increase in both infrastructure and manpower is a testament to the experience our customers have with the service on a daily basis. We have further plans in place to increase capacity to ensure that we continue to meet demand as efficiently as possible.”
The new 30,000 square-foot depot will operate at three times the scale of Nightline’s current central Mygan Park depot, due to increased work stations and improved technologies.
Established in 1992, Nightline is Ireland’s largest independent parcel delivery business servicing both the domestic and international markets, delivering over 40,000 parcels each day and employing over 800 people.
Nightline has twelve Irish depots and recently expanded three of these as a result of increased business from the retail sector.
