Shannon Trailer Sales & Servicing has gone from strength to strength since opening at Shannon Airport in 2019 under the care of Catherine Nugent, who relocated to Clare from her native Tyrone 15 years ago and is part of the Nugent family, who are the largest trailer manufacturers in Ireland.
Catherine’s wealth of experience in the family business, coupled with a comprehensive knowledge of the industry, led her to choose Shannon as Nugent’s Munster base due to its central location and diverse business network.
Her awareness of the market has proven resilient during the challenges of the past couple of years, resulting in further growth and expansion of the yard, where she now stocks the full range of Nugent trailers and machinery, as well as servicing all brands and types of trailer with a full-time, qualified mechanic.
Catherine has established a diverse customer base ranging from local farmers, households and leisure to construction, government bodies and public sector organisations, with many returning to grow and maintain their fleet of trailers.
Nugent emerged from humble beginnings in 1985, manufacturing cattle crushes for the Irish market. Continued growth over the years across Ireland, UK and a large export market in Europe has been owing to the superior build quality of Nugent trailer, as well as the company’s commitment to innovation and continuous product development.
Most recently, Nugent launched a new Tiltbed trailer, which will be showcased alongside the full range at the National Ploughing Championships in Ratheniska, Co Laois from 20th – 22nd September. As the first event since 2019, Catherine is looking forward to being back on the front line, meeting old and new customers from across Ireland.
Nugent’s depot in Shannon stocks a full range of trailers at any time, including Livestock, Flatbed, Plant, Tipper, Beavertail, Tiltbed and the smaller Utility, Quad and General Purpose trailers. With something to suit everyone, Catherine and her team will be on hand to advise and direct you to the right trailer for your needs.
Walk-ins are always welcome for a free visual inspection and a full range of trailer spare parts for most major brands are in stock.
Regular servicing is essential for keeping your trailer safe and legal on the road, so why not give Catherine a call now, or pop into the Shannon Airport depot for your free annual service check.
