We’re moving

 

Today we wish a fond farewell to  Upper Mount Street.  We’re on the move and the builders are hard at work kitting out our super new offices on Ely Place.  We’ll be getting the keys in January so in the meantime you’ll find us at our temporary digs at 77 St. John Rogerson’s Quay – The Fitzwilliam Business Centre.

It’ll be business as usual so you can still get a hold of us on 01 7756500 or via your usual contact.  If you’re coming in to see us here are the directions.
