members of the McConaghy team together to publicly recognise Zach
McCaughan’s achievement. He presented Zach with a certificate for his
outstanding achievement in designing McConaghy’s new website. Zach’s
involvement in the new website resulted from him approaching Richard and
seeking to replace the old website completely as part of his second year Computing
Course at Ulster University. Richard commented; "Zach has produced a website
which allows existing and potential customers to find the information they need
quickly and efficiently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The website site
informs customers and potential customers not only what we do but how we do
it - our values.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Zach found the right balance in
producing a website that shows that McConaghy Refrigerated Distribution Limited
is a family business that is customer focussed, forward thinking and BRC
certified.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whilst I do get out to see
customers as much as is possible, the reality is that the spread of our
business across Ireland and Great Britain makes it impossible for me to see every customer. Therefore, it is great that customers are now
able to put a face to a name through our ‘staff profile’ page.”</span></span></span><br />

van deliveries, the middle of the month will see the Mercedes Sprinter Refrigerated

McConaghy’s colours. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

delivering proactive customer service 3 months in. It’s now an integral part of how McConaghy
Refrigerated Distribution Limited manages consignments and invoices customers.
PODs can be auto matched and filed in minutes, showing at a glance what PODs
are available or are outstanding. This
significantly streamlines invoicing and improves customer service. We know this
from customers.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 15.75pt;">The next
stage is for McConaghy Refrigerated Distribution is to switch over from the
current fleet management system to Stratum’s fleet management module. Whilst the current system has worked well,
the opportunity for a one stop database to manage every aspect of the fleet is
not to be missed to ensure that every vehicle and trailer in the fleet is kept
in tip top condition as well as fully compliant. Making sure all our customers get an utterly
reliable service. </span>McConaghy Refrigerated Distribution Limitedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10356609415462271512noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1777553337533162782.post-75780921107096345792016-03-18T12:11:00.002-07:002016-03-18T12:13:32.502-07:00New Additions to Vehicle FleetDate: 7th December 2015<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This
month saw the recent installation of remotely monitored Close Circuit
Television and all cabs being fitted with Instant Video Transmission
Vehicle Accident Cameras. Compliance
Manager Michael Armstrong stated that the security of the site will be enhanced
further by the installation of CCTV and highlighted that one of the main
advantages of fitting cameras to all cabs was to reduce potential
collisions. Both Operations Manager Clive Elder and
Managing Director Richard McConaghy outlined that MRDL are continually looking
at ways in which technology can be used to reduce risk and increase customer
service and announced that android phones are soon to be fitted to all cabs </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">as an

McConaghy acknowledged the commitment of the many who got the new system up and
