These offices are ideally located to provide customers with ease of access to Gael Form’s extensive range of products and services. “When we set up the company, Ireland was still in recession, so we had to go after the English market.

About 80 per cent of our work is carried out in the UK, but there are signs of a recovery at home. We started out with three staff and now employ 17. This growth wouldn’t have been possible if we hadn’t entered the UK market.” Gael Form believes in keeping things simple for its customers and that the best business is built on reliable and efficient service. The company delivers solutions that are functionally efficient at the 31
most cost-effective rates on the international market. Gael Form’s core values are reliability, responsibility and efficiency. As a result of its high flexibility, interactive methods and agile management structure, the company can always meet its clients’ needs. It strives to exceed clients’ expectations and endeavours to become an asset to their business. The most competitive prices are always guaranteed as Charlie explains: “We won’t be beaten on price and that’s a big reason why we’ve had a successful first three years in business.
