As one of the show’s main sponsors down through the years, Derry Bros Shipping helps make sure that Full of the Pipe is plain sailing every summer. This remarkable third-generation family business – which provides invaluable services to Irish and UK truckers – is on board again in 2026! 

A loyal sponsorship partner of Full of the Pipe going back well over a decade to the show’s seminal days, Derry Bros Shipping boasts more than half a century’s experience of meeting hauliers’ every shipping need. 

To intimate that Derry Bros enjoy close ties with FOTP is an understatement. As well as being one of the official sponsors of the annual Full of the Pipe truck show extravaganza, Derry Bros Shipping Ltd. also plays a key role in helping make the event such a resounding success. This year will be no different as the celebrated shipping agent will once more have a strong presence at Full of the Pipe 2026 in Mondello Park. 

Offering great rates to truckers who want to bring their vehicles to Ireland for Full of the Pipe (or of course any other reason), Derry Bros facilitate many arrivals from foreign shores every year.
