Montgomery

Transport Group

Rockmount Vehicle Maintenance , Intercounty and Sapphire are other businesses within the group . These businesses were initially intergrated to support internal maintenance and assist with the ongoing servicing and maintenance of the fleet of vehicles , plant , and equipment , but in 2010 , became separate entities within the group . This is another example that serves to highlight the group ’ s independence .

“ Other than shipping ,” continues Rachael , “ we ’ re not dependent on any external companies to keep our businesses running . If a customer has an influx of volume , for example , and we need additional trailers , we go to one of our internal companies for a temporary solution or we add to our fleet without having to wait . I don ’ t think there ’ s anybody out there like us with this level of agility , capability , and control . using our own group fleet . This means that either the collection , delivery , or the entire consignment process can be managed by us . This strategic advantage is backed by our group , giving us a unique selling point .

Agility , capability , and control

“ Montgomery Transport Group is supported by Ballyvesey Holdings , being entirely managed by the Montgomery family . Within Ballyvesey Holdings , we have additional divisions including Vehicle Distribution , Vehicle Rental , Trailer , Construction and Corporate Sales . This diverse catalog of businesses allows us to have control over our operation , minimizing the dependency on external suppliers . Additionally , we own Montracon , a trailer manufacturer that was created in response to issues we faced when acquiring trailers . This business was established from scratch rather than through a purchase , and enables us to be ahead of the curve with bespoke built trailers and supply .”
