About us

Trusted by industry leaders worldwide

With a reputation built on decades of reliability, we’re trusted by leading brands across publishing, events, e-commerce and more.

And while we’re known as a global logistics and technology company, combining smart systems, deep expertise, and a hands-on approach, that’s only part of our story.

We also have the scale and stability to deliver globally, thanks to the backing of An Post, one of the world’s most trusted postal providers which we are a wholly owned subsidiary of.

But it’s what happens behind the scenes that truly sets us apart.

Across our five specialist service areas, it’s our people who make the difference – experts who not only understand the complexities of global logistics, but are genuinely committed to helping our customers succeed. We’re also unusually accessible – in fact, you can even pick up the phone and speak directly to our CEO, and in an industry where that kind of connection is rare, we’ve made it part of how we do business.

The Beacon

Our purpose-built Head Office and distribution centre, The Beacon, is designed to support our continued growth and evolving customer needs. After more than two years of planning, the 70,000 sq ft facility was built around our operational workflows to streamline processes, boost collaboration, and enhance service delivery. With an “A” energy efficiency rating and sustainable initiatives throughout, The Beacon reflects both our operational ambition and our commitment to doing things the right way.
