COMPANY PROFILE

Formerly Dorgans Mini Coaches which was founded in 1961, the business is now run by the second generation of family members: Stephen Millar and Brenda Mackin.  The name of the company was changed at the end of 2004 to accurately reflect our speciality within the industry i.e. small to medium group transport throughout the greater Dublin area.  While the company name changed, the colour of our vehicles, our staff and our reliable service remained the same. Whether a trip is business or pleasure, our uniformed drivers will collect and drive to the destination in style on time any where anytime.
