Ireland's Local Delivery Experts
Portlaoise Roots, Nationwide Reach
GoGo Vans was born from a simple frustration: why is booking a reliable van so difficult in Ireland? We're changing that. Founded in the heart of the Midlands, we combine years of logistics experience with technology that actually works. Whether you're moving house, running a business, or just need something collected, we make it easy, affordable, and stress-free.
Our Story
From Local Roots to Nationwide Service
Where It All Started
Tomas Kontrimas founded Bouncy Castles Laois in Portlaoise, spending years learning how to transport fragile, oversized equipment across the Midlands. Every damaged inflatable taught a lesson about proper securing, careful driving, and customer communication—lessons that became the foundation for GoGo Vans.
The Lightbulb Moment
During lockdown, Tomas helped neighbours with deliveries. He noticed a pattern: existing services were unreliable, overpriced, or impossible to book. People needed GPS tracking, online booking, fair pricing, and drivers who cared. The GoGo Vans concept was born.
Building Something Better
18 months of development: a booking platform that works on any device, real-time GPS tracking, rigorous driver training, and a fleet of modern vehicles. We tested with 200+ beta customers and refined every detail based on their feedback.
GoGo Vans Goes Live
Official launch with coverage across all 32 counties. 2,500+ deliveries completed with a 4.9-star rating. Featured in Irish Independent and Laois Today. Now serving students moving flats to businesses shipping pallets nationwide.
Meet Our Founder
Tomas Kontrimas
Founder & CEO
Tomas isn't your typical tech founder. Before GoGo Vans, he spent a decade in professional security and nine years running a bouncy castle business across the Midlands. That unique combination—the discipline of security work and the hands-on logistics of moving oversized equipment weekly—shaped how we do things. He personally trained every driver and still answers customer emails.
