Damien Long
Managing Director
In the year 2000, at the young age of eighteen, Damien Long took over the management of Dave Long Coach Travel, which had been established by his parents Dave and Patricia thirty-one years previous. Damien has come from a long line of innovators with his grandfather Ernest Donelan transforming his business in the early 20th century from a horse-drawn hackney service to a motorised service; this proved to be a highly progressive move in the West Cork transport industry at that time.
Focused on Transport
In the same vein, Damien Long has been at the centre of many successful businesses in both the transport and hospitality sectors in West Cork over the years. He prides himself on taking a hands-on approach to all aspects of business. Nowadays, his time is divided between Dave Long Coach Travel and two hugely successful and highly competitive public transport companies: TravelMaster and West Cork Connect. In short, through their easy-to-use online booking platforms, these two companies have revolutionised the travel industry. As a result, they have taken the hassle out of organising journeys as the customer can dispense with phone reservations and instead use a much more convenient booking process for the modern age. In addition, they offer a useful live-tracking service.
But Damien’s ambition does not end there: he aims to bring the very first electric bus to West Cork. Having inherited a proud tradition of transport service that dates back generations, he continues to elevate Dave Long Coach Travel to new heights.
