This article delves into the essential role of warehousing, highlighting how Nolan Transport’s expertise in logistics management and supply chain solutions adds value to businesses seeking efficient storage, distribution, and customs solutions.

The Evolution of Logistics Management and Warehousing

International Women’s Day

Posted on March 8th, 2023

In Honour of International Women Day , today we recognise and celebrate all of the women working within our organisation and all of the women with whom we partner with every day globally . Nolan Transport wishes to celebrate and acknowledge all of you and thank you for your continued dedication , work and support.

This year we especially acknowledge Joan (Johanna) Nolan, very much a strong woman of Ireland and a founding member of Nolan Transport who sadly passed away on the 16th December 2022. We remember and celebrate her on International Women’s Day by selecting an extract from her daughter Joan’s speech at our recent launch of the “Johanna 1 Warehouse” named in her honour at our warehouse opening in Wexford in January 2023.

Who is my Mam, Joan?

Below are very few words to capture the essence of Joan Nolan, my Mam, a strong woman of Ireland.

• Born 16 of September 1936 into the Codd family of Ballinlee, christened Johanna known
• as Joan. The fifth of what would be seven children of Anastasia and Raymond Codd.
• She attended the school of home economics in Ramsgrange where she met many
• important people in her life. Little did she know, as we turn back the clock forwards ,
• she would spend almost 60 years across the road.
• She was a woman ahead of her time and married a strong willed and driven man and
• the two of them started on an amazing journey together.
• After their marriage, they moved across to Birmingham and started their family. When
• my Dad’s family took ill, they came home with two kids, two suitcases, a large radio and
• not much else in the early 1960s.
• On this journey they achieved the Nolan Tribe consisting of 13 children, 44
• grandchildren and 1 great grandchild so far and a huge business empire built from
• scratch.

How did my Mam Joan leave her mark on the Nolan culture today?

Constant characteristics of the Nolan culture driven is from my Mam’s DNA.

• They have Joan’s ethos of hard work,
• They have Joan’s strength and like her, do things their way with a unique stamp.
• They have Joan’s resilience, when it is put up to them, they always deliver.
• They are efficient like Joan and always strive to get the job done.
• Joan was fair and equal to all just like Nolans.
• The culture is humble like Joan never forgetting her humble beginnings.
• Joan was not afraid to deal with good news and bad news and managing always to do
• the right thing, the same is similar in Nolans.
• She was innovating and led by example laying the foundations to our innovative
• culture today.

“On International Women’s Day , I am proud of the women who have come before me especially my Mam Joan, I pay tribute to her and strive to have her resilience, leadership and strength”

Joan Nolan, Director of Nolan Transport

Nolan Transport Officially Open New €12 million Global Logistics Park in Wexford 

Posted on January 11th, 2023

Nolan Transport Officially Open New €12 million Global Logistics Park in Wexford 

Nolan Transport has stepped forward and invested in the future of today’s supply chain requirements.  The world has seen unprecedented demand for warehousing facilities caused by changes in customer needs and disruption in the supply chain stemming from Brexit and Covid. 

Recognising these disruptions and changes, Nolan Transport is putting itself and Wexford forward as a global leader for transportation and logistics services to its customers both locally and internationally. 

Nolan Transport, founded by Jimmy and his wife Joan ( christened Johanna) in 1963 celebrates 60 years in business this year. Starting in 1963 with a single truck and only the two of them working the business, today it has grown to provide the Supply Chain services of Transportation, Warehousing, Customs and Systems to its Customers.  It prides itself on being one of Wexford’s leading employers with over 1,000 people and operating over 2000 trailers and 700 trucks of owner asset-based fleet. 

With its main hub already operating out of New Ross, this is its second Wexford-based facility. In addition, it operates offices internationally in the UK, France, and Spain and this week also opens its new office in Holland with further expansion plans into other European locations planned over the next 5 years.

The new global logistics park will house its warehousing services. This is Phase 1 of the 5 phase visions for this park. It has been specifically designed to facilitate its customer’s needs and is already in high demand with its global customers seeking out high-end warehousing requirements. 

The warehouse facility has been constructed to meet international standards and offers a specialist wing for bioscience, clean room facilities and a containment wing. Additionally incorporating a sustainability plan, the building will be powered via solar roof panels coupled with in-built smart controls for energy. The company is also seeking options to add on railway connections and on-site wind turbines in the coming years. 

Today the 11^th of January 2023, the Nolan Family opens the “ Johanna 1 Building” named in honour of their dear mother Joan, very much a strong woman of Ireland and an inspiration to all who sadly passed away suddenly on 16 December 2022, 

The new €12 million 150,000 cubic metres high bay warehouse facility is the first of five planned warehouses of the company’s €50 million vision planned over the next years to get to Phase 5 at the global logistic park on the 35-acre site just off of the Rosslare road in county Wexford.

Commenting at the official opening event Noel Nolan, Director of the Warehousing Division of Nolan Transport says, “This first phase of our facility and € 12 million development will initially create and sustain 30 Wexford jobs in phase one. I am very proud and excited about this venture. 

The ground floor measurement is 80,000 square feet with nine storeys of racking sitting within that space with 22,000 available pallet locations with a bespoke state-of-the-art design smart warehouse management system. This enables us to offer a complete end-to-end logistics and warehousing solution to suit a range of occupiers from SMEs to large manufacturing and distribution companies and we are delighted to have exchanged contracts with a number of international brands already.

As the UK and European markets continue to adapt their supply chain and distribution models following Brexit, the market is experiencing record levels of demand and take-up. The market circumstances coupled with our new facility and our 60-year-old Transportation Company, Nolan Transport means that we are ideally positioned to unlock opportunities to deliver high-quality and sustainable warehousing solutions, deliver more jobs and deliver more economic benefits for Wexford and the wider region all the while, working even more closely with Rosslare Europort with its new direct to Europe and its UK ferry operators.

This is just phase one of five phases and we are already looking forward to continuing to re-invest in the region and build capacity for further job creation through the next development phases in our €50 Million anticipated sustainable development in our Wexford Global Logistics Park. 

​Nolan Transport is currently ISO credited and is status pending for Seveso licencing and full AEO customs status which enables the company to work even more closely with international operators managing high-value goods, and offer a bonded warehousing service.
