In every aspect of our business we strive to be as sustainable as possible by minimizing our environmental footprint. This is a continuous effort but one that is very close to our hearts as a business. 

We want to continue to grow, building on relationships with our current customers and suppliers and working with new partners to deliver outstanding products and service. 

With Brexit looming, we established a new company ‘Customs Wise’ to deal with the inevitable customs issues that will arise once Britain leaves the Union. With our years of experiencing in the imports business, we are perfectly placed to advise and to be the go too company for all Customs compliance issues in Ireland and the UK.
