A lot successful people in the world of business will tell you they grew from small beginnings. Our founder John Coughlan is no exception to the rule. His history with the cold stuff goes back many years, but it all started after he moved to Canada from Limerick, Ireland and purchased a humble Dickie Dee franchise with only 8 ice cream tricycles.
Years later, Unilever turned to John when they needed someone in Western Canada based on the reputation for excellence he had built so John took that opportunity and built it into an empire. Since launching in 2002, TransCold has continually expanded its territory and grown over 1,500% (and counting).
Our US team coalesced under the direction of the newly created role of TransCold Distribution® General Manager (USA), filled by Henry Heatherly, our seasoned Director of Operations.
The US sales team was reformatted into Business Development Managers to focus more time on the needs of our customer, while the management of our Route Sales Drivers was reassigned to local Operations Supervisors to improve their delivery performance. Read the press release here.
