A part/shared load service is a cost effective way to move your goods to and from your destination. The reason this service is so cost effective is that you share the vehicle with other consignments and therefore the vehicle costs are also shared. All consignments are individually prepared, numbered, labelled and inventoried to ensure all items are correctly delivered to you.

The Republic of Ireland (or just Ireland) is known for its scenic landscape, charming towns, its lively pubs, and of course, its national drink, Guinness, Ireland is fast becoming one of the top destinations for expats from all over the EU.

Ireland is a major centre for pharmaceutical production, with many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies operating in the country such as Roche, and Pfizer. Technology companies also have their European headquarters in the country, many based in Dublin’s ‘Silicon Docks’ which is the centre for Ireland’s tech scene. The technology industry in particular is growing at blinding speed, so has become incredibly attractive to the best and brightest working in the sector. Whilst English is the most well-spoken language in the country, and all companies use it as a first language, Ireland is also reclaiming its native language of Gaelige. Whilst a minimal understanding will grant you Irish favour, it won’t be necessary in order to find employment
