US Moving Franchise Expands To Ireland And United Kingdom

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® has awarded the master franchise rights for the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom to the Dublin-based company NDMG Holdings Ltd. It plans to open 60 locations.

TWO MEN AND A TRUCK provides a comprehensive array of moving services for homes and businesses. It also offers packing and unpacking services, loading and unloading services, boxes and a wide choice of packing supplies. Customers benefit from having trained, uniformed movers who are insured and bonded to handle all moving tasks.

In 2005, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® completed more than 320,000 moves in North America resulting in system wide annual turnover of US $181 million. The franchise system was recently listed as one of the Top 25 best franchise investments in the United States by The Wall Street Journal’s Web site designed for entrepreneurs and as well as one of the Top 50 US franchises by Franchise Business Review. And for the 12th consecutive year, the company appeared on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 list.

NDMG Holdings Ltd. plans to open more than 60 moving franchises in those countries, said Brian Hefferon, master franchisee. “There is nothing quite like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® available in Ireland and the United Kingdom,’’ Hefferon said. “We believe the best way to grow business is by making our customers so impressed with our service they will tell their family and friends. We recognized that TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® understands this and has developed a very customer focused business model that fits with our core values - it’s not surprising how successful the system has become.�?
