The logistics and transport sector continues to adapt to increasing complexity, regulatory change, and global market demands. Operational strategy, infrastructure development, and international expansion are emerging as key drivers for sustaining efficiency and service quality.

Our first story, ‘International logistics expert Jamie O’Reilly joins Irish Logistics & Transport Awards 2026 judging panel’, highlights how deep sector expertise and sustainability-focused leadership inform standards of excellence. It underscores the value of strategic insight in shaping the awards’ evaluation framework ahead of the 2026 cycle.

Moreover, ‘Derry Bros scales customs services for Irish Sea freight’ illustrates the importance of expanding operational capacity and infrastructure to meet evolving trade and regulatory requirements. This step demonstrates how logistics providers link operational strategy with market responsiveness and client service reliability.

Meanwhile, ‘DREWES Logistics expands into India with new project logistics hub’ shows how global expansion and capability development enable firms to address complex, multi-market supply chains. Such growth reflects the increasing integration of technology, compliance, and cross-border coordination in modern logistics operations.

These developments highlight the sector’s focus on operational efficiency, strategic investment, and international reach. By combining expertise, scalable infrastructure, and global expansion, organisations continue to evolve in response to growing complexity and demand.
