What e-Van Transportation does
e-Van Transportation is an Irish privately-held moving and disposal company founded in February 2014 by Evan Cleary as a solo man-with-a-van operation in Dublin. The company operates a network of local drivers across all 32 counties of Ireland and Northern Ireland, offering house removals, apartment and flat removals, office relocations, furniture removals, specialty transport (pianos, motorbikes, band equipment), furniture collection and delivery, IKEA delivery, direct courier services, and international removals.
The core asset is a fleet segmented across six van sizes (Small 5.5 m³, Large 10 m³, Extra-Large 13 m³, Luton 16.5 m³, Lowloader 22 m³, and MaxiMover 30 m³) plus equipment such as trolleys, ramps, blankets, and ratchet straps. Disposal services — including furniture, sofa, bed/mattress, bulky waste, garden waste, and electrical/electronics recycling — are delivered through a partner holding a National Waste Collection Permit Office license (NWCPO-17-11904-01), giving e-Van a regulated route into waste services that unlicensed competitors cannot legally offer.
The business model is direct-to-consumer and transaction-based, with publicly disclosed fixed starting prices ranging from €70 (one-man small van) to €490 (two-man MaxiMover) and long-distance rates from €230 to €300. Customers book through a website quote form, phone (089 6000 200), or walk-in. Marketing relies on SEO, content/blog, social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest), and earned media (a 2017 Irish Times feature). The company is bootstrapped and wholly Irish-owned, with management consisting of Owner/Manager Evan Cleary and Assistant Manager Adrian, and 11-50 total employees.

e-Van Transportation competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- TaskRabbit: Tech-enabled marketplace for local tasks including moving help, furniture assembly, and heavy lifting. Competes with e-Van for labor-driven moving and assembly jobs rather than full van rentals.
- HireAHelper: US online marketplace connecting customers with moving labor and truck rental. Relevant peer for e-Van's potential evolution into a marketplace/lead-gen model rather than fully owned-fleet.
Broad incumbents
- Pickfords: UK's longest-established removals company offering domestic and international moving services including Ireland routes. Comparable for cross-border and international removals competition where e-Van also offers international moves.
- Fantastic Services: Large UK home-services platform offering removals alongside cleaning, handyman, and pest services. Overlaps with e-Van's moving and disposal lines as part of a much broader portfolio, with similar geography — English-speaking markets adjacent to Ireland.
Direct peers
- AnyVan: UK-based online marketplace that matches customers with van drivers and removal services — the closest direct competitor to e-Van's national man-with-a-van model, applying the same concept at marketplace scale across the British Isles.
- Man and Van: UK-wide directory/booking site for man-with-a-van services, the same core product e-Van sells in Ireland. Closest direct comparator by service category, though operating as a lead-generation layer rather than a fleet operator.
- College Hunks Hauling Junk and Moving: US franchise combining local moves with junk removal under one brand — directly analogous to e-Van's bundled moving-plus-disposal positioning, but operated via franchise model with national reach.
- 1-800-GOT-JUNK?: North American junk removal franchise with full-service pickup and disposal. Mirrors e-Van's disposal service line: licensed collection, fixed pricing, and a vehicle-based crew model for bulky waste hauling.
Regional players
- Clearabee: UK on-demand bulky waste collection service operating licensed skip-alternative collection. Comparable to e-Van's Dublin-licensed disposal (NWCPO permit) but operating across Britain rather than Ireland.
- Junk King: US-based junk removal franchise with eco-friendly disposal positioning. Comparable to e-Van's licensed furniture/electronics recycling angle but operating across North America rather than Ireland.
