About Us

Here at Irish Art Services we are dedicated, reliable, flexible and the longest & largest operating art services company in the country.

Irish Art Services Ltd. began in the year 2000, our sole purpose was the transport of art. In 2016 we merged with Magtrans Ltd. established by Tony Magennis.

With our combined 50 years of experience in art transport and the new name of Irish Art Services our company began to branch out. We no longer felt the word “courier” suited us as we were now so much more than that.

Our team has also grown, each tech and driver with their own accomplishments and qualifications, each one trained to the highest ability. With our fleet growing from 2 vans to 7 climate controlled, art spec, alarmed and tracked vehicles, we are sure we can help you with any project you may have.
