Luggage shipping and relocation services specialist Send My Bag has become the official shipping partner for Northern Ireland’s senior men’s and women’s teams and the Irish FA.
Under the partnership deal the company’s logo will appear on a sleeve of the teams’ training tops. It’s the first time a Northern Ireland company will be represented on the teams’ training kit.
Established in Bangor in 2006, Send My Bag is a leader in its industry, providing luggage courier and relocation shipping services to customers in more than 80 countries every month.
The Co Down company has also agreed to become the title partner for the Irish FA Foundation’s Everybody’s Game programme. Run in youth settings, schools, clubs and more, Everybody’s Game focuses on racism awareness and equality. It also reflects on contemporary issues surrounding football.
Adam Ewart, Founder and CEO at Send My Bag, said: “As a company which now helps some of the world's top sportspeople travel the globe, it is a real pleasure to be appointed the official shipping partner to the senior international teams, and a thrill to discover we are the first local company to be represented on the kits.
“We are also proud to become title partner of Everybody’s Game and look forward to supporting the Irish FA Foundation in its work surrounding inclusivity and equality.”
Stephen Bogle, Head of Commercial Operations at the Irish FA, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Send My Bag as an official partner to the Northern Ireland senior teams and to showcase a homegrown brand on the senior teams’ training kit on the global stage.
“We look forward to working closer with the Send My Bag team over the next five years of the partnership.”
From international students to holiday home owners, from film crews to global relocators, Send My Bag’s luggage shipping and relocation customers around the world are supported 24/7 by the team based in the company’s newly-built HQ in Bangor.
The company is also a partner of the 2024 UEFA European Men’s Under-19 Championship finals. The eight-team U19 Euros are being staged in Northern Ireland this summer, running from 15 July until 28 July.
