Supply Chain Solutions for bulk fulfilment in Ireland & the EU
Logistical turmoil for UK brands shipping to Ireland & the EU
British exporters to Ireland and the mainland EU have had to deal with extra paperwork and costs because of the border checks put in place on 1st January due to Brexit. Which has caused a dramatic increase in shipping costs, delays and burdensome levels of administration. In addition, some customers are experiencing nasty surprises in the shape of unexpected extra carrier costs and taxes when buying from UK brands. In addition, both end-customers and brands alike are discovering how difficult it is to return a purchased item as the logistical consequence involves sending an item back from the EU to the UK.
Don’t give up on Irish and EU business
The Irish market is experiencing a post-Covid economic bounce with consumer spending in Ireland now 10% higher than before the pandemic. Ireland is the UK’s fifth largest export market, in 2019 exports to Ireland totalled £36.6bn.
It is easier for a UK company to sell in Ireland than in any other European market. We share the same language, terminologies, and many of the same business processes. There are long-standing trading relationships built up over many decades and there is established demand for UK goods in Ireland. We share the same advertising channels, TV, newspapers, magazines and social media, so Irish consumers are very aware of, and attracted to British products.
