In 2018, Ken Byrne and Ger Egan had a vision: to revolutionise how Irish eCommerce businesses operate across Europe. Fast forward to 2024, and their company, RedSky Europe, has grown from a small startup to a dynamic enterprise with over 50 staff, representing some of Ireland’s largest eCommerce brands. Their journey from an idea to an award-winning logistics leader is an inspiring story of determination, innovation, and teamwork.
The RedSky Difference: What Makes It Work?
Operating behind the scenes of the fast-paced world of eCommerce, RedSky Europe is a 3PL (third-party logistics) provider that does more than just move products. The company handles every step of the order fulfilment process—from receiving inventory and storing it in their state-of-the-art fulfilment centre, to picking, packing, and shipping orders.
“Every package that leaves our warehouse is more than just a product—it’s someone’s purchase, a moment of trust,” says Ger Egan, CEO. “Our job is to make sure that trust is rewarded with speed, accuracy, and care.”
The fulfilment process at RedSky Europe operates like a well-oiled machine:
- Inventory Management: Products arrive at the fulfilment centre, where they’re meticulously organised and tracked using advanced technology.
- Order Processing: Once an order is placed, the system automatically identifies the products, generates labels, and prioritises dispatch.
- Picking and Packing: Staff members carefully pick the items, check for accuracy, and package them securely for delivery.
- Shipping and Tracking: Orders are shipped out with real-time tracking, ensuring customers know exactly when their packages will arrive.
“Behind the scenes, it’s a hive of activity,” adds Ken Byrne, Founder. “From tech integrations with clients’ eCommerce platforms to hands-on quality control, there’s a level of precision and teamwork that drives our success.”
Award-Winning Excellence
RedSky Europe’s hard work has not gone unnoticed. The company recently won the prestigious Exporter of the Year award and the Outstanding Service Award, recognising its role in supporting Irish businesses’ success across European markets.
Empowering Businesses with VAT and Logistics Expertise
One of RedSky Europe’s standout services is its expertise in VAT compliance—a critical aspect of selling in European markets. Their spin-off company, Taxmatic, simplifies the complex world of VAT compliance with automated solutions, giving businesses more time to focus on growth.
“Our clients know they can count on us for more than just logistics,” says Egan. “We’re problem-solvers who take the headaches out of cross-border trade.”
A Vision for the Future
As RedSky Europe continues to grow, Ken Byrne and Ger Egan remain focused on delivering the same personalised service that earned them the trust of Ireland’s biggest eCommerce brands.
“Our goal has always been to empower businesses to scale,” says Byrne. “Behind every package, there’s a story of growth and ambition, and we’re proud to play a role in that journey.”
