FTA Ireland, Enprova and Allied Irish Bank, in conjunction with Analytiqa, are delighted to publish the seventh edition of the Manager's Guide to Distribution Costs 2025 report. This Guide has become an important source for Irish freight and logistics companies. 

Managing costs should be the number one priority for all within the freight distribution sector in Ireland as a collaborative approach must be taken to alleviating pressures on small to medium sized businesses ensuring that vital supply chains remain viable and open. 

This report serves to provide essential information that informs organisations in their strategic planning and highlights the cost of distribution for those that procure freight distribution services. 

Now in its seventh year, the Manager’s Guide to Distribution Costs continues to benefit operational, commercial and strategic planning for any organisation with an interest in logistics, supply chain and, more specifically, road transport, across Ireland.
