Cyclone Couriers, courier and last-mile services from Dublin

Cyclone Couriers is a courier and last-mile solutions company based in The Liberties, Dublin 8. The company presents itself as Ireland's most trusted delivery service and states it has over 35 years of experience, with a history dating back to 1988, when a group of friends set up a three-person bicycle delivery service. It currently reports employing 165 professionals.

Its activity combines local coverage with national reach and international capability, and spans from urgent shipments to sensitive medical transport. The company states that all its services are available online, with prices visible on screen, tracking and a carbon emissions calculator.

Delivery services

The offering is structured around three main options:

• Urgent on-demand courier services (same day): operated with a fleet of 75 vehicles and 20 cargo bikes, with coverage across the 32 counties of Ireland. Riders and drivers complete thousands of urgent deliveries every day, and booking is managed through an online app with full tracking, accessible from any device.
• Next-day nationwide delivery: overnight service managed in partnership with DPD, with coverage across the 32 counties and a fleet of 350 electric vehicles. The company offers optional insurance for higher-value items and real-time tracking of all shipments, with a full chain of custody for documents, parcels and products.
• International shipping: door-to-door service from Ireland to destinations worldwide, with delivery in one day to Europe and North America and coverage in 220 countries. The booking engine, available only to Cyclone customers, removes the need to fill in forms or print labels: simply enter the shipment details.

Fleet and sustainability

The company links its operations to environmental criteria. According to its data, in 2025 it completed more than 50,000 deliveries with zero- or low-emission vehicles, preventing more than 14,000 kg of carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere. Its measures include prioritising electric vehicles for last-mile delivery, route optimisation algorithms, carbon offset programmes, biodegradable and reusable packaging, and a city-centre distribution hub that reduces journeys.

For 2026, the company has set the goal of converting its entire fleet of diesel vans to HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil), an advanced biofuel obtained from renewable feedstocks such as vegetable oils, animal fats or used cooking oils. According to published information, HVO can reduce life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90% compared with conventional diesel, depending on the feedstock, and produces less soot, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

The booking app includes a CO2 tracker that calculates and displays the emissions saved by choosing zero-emission vehicles. The result can be exported as a weekly, monthly or quarterly report to integrate into the client's ESG strategy.

Corporate profile and team

The company presents itself as an integrated logistics partner, with dedicated teams, advanced tracking systems and secure handling procedures. Its leadership includes John Martin, founder and sales director, with over 30 years of experience in the sector; Loretta Graham, director of customer appreciation and with the company since 1988; and Simon Pleass, CEO.

Cyclone Couriers states that 75% of Ireland's largest law firms are its clients, according to Law Society 2024 data, and reports having 5,000 active customers. The company presents itself as the number one courier and delivery service in Ireland according to Trustpilot.
