What we do
A complete distribution solution, under one roof
Contract management, warehousing and transport are run by the same team on the same system — a genuine one stop shop, rather than three suppliers blaming each other when a delivery slips.

Contract management
We take on the whole distribution function — planning, resourcing and running it to agreed service levels, reporting back weekly.

Warehousing
Storage, pick and consolidation close to Dublin Airport and the M1, so stock sits where the routes start.

Temperature-controlled transport
Chilled and frozen retail freight carried on multi-temperature equipment, with the temperature recorded for the whole journey.

International haulage
Fully licensed Ireland–UK movements with goods-in-transit and liability cover in place.
Why customers stay
Most of our growth has come from a customer recommending us
We have never built the business on tenders alone. It has grown because buyers and supply chain managers pass our name on — which only happens when the deliveries land on time, at the right temperature, with the paperwork to prove it.
Fully licensed and insured
Licensed international haulage with goods-in-transit and liability cover, and IRHA membership behind the paperwork.
Satellite fleet tracking
Every unit is tracked by satellite with a full delivery history, so we can answer where a load is without ringing the driver.
Real-time temperature data
Trailer temperatures are monitored live and logged, giving you a record that stands up to a retail audit.
Decisions in minutes
A private company run by its owners. If a plan needs to change at 6am, the person who can change it is on the phone.
Twenty-five years on the road
The same family, the same phone numbers
Zellwood started in 1995 with a single vehicle and a contract to keep. The fleet is bigger and the tracking is better, but the way we work hasn’t changed: the owners are in the business every day, and the people who plan your loads are the people you talk to.
