Griffins Coaches was established in 1995 by father and son, Jim and Kevin Griffin.
Mechanics by profession, Jim and Kevin could hardly have envisaged that Griffins Coaches would grow to be one of the most successful firms of its kind in the region.
They started the business on a very small footing when they purchased a Ford Transit mini bus which became lovingly known as Old Red.
Jim retired in 2005 but kept up an active role, to this day he is always on hand with advice and encouragement. It has stayed very much a family business with other members of the family now having very active roles in the day to day running of the business.
Griffins Coaches began to specialize in sports team travel for a wide variety of sports including hurling, football, camogie, soccer, and rugby, serving many local and county teams in Limerick and North Cork.
Business flourished and with the addition of several large coaches expanded into tourism, catering for tour groups from Europe, Asia, Canada and America.
In January 2020, Griffins Coaches celebrated a proud 25 years in business.
This achievement was made possible by the ongoing support and encouragement from family and friends, and not forgetting our own fantastic team who have driven with us on that road to success.
