Here in the Relay Express Head Office we are all talking about Euro 2016. The sweepstake is done (I got Iceland), Martin O’Neill has extended his contract and the squad today depart for France in preparation for Monday night’s opening match against Sweden at the Stade de France.

For the few of you that don’t know, the tournament kicks off on Friday when host nation France entertain Romania and this is followed by a football feast on Saturday as Albania take on Switzerland, Wales play Slovakia and England face Russia. If you are not a footy lover, you wont be pleased to hear that Sunday and Monday also see 3 fixtures per day, with Northern Ireland playing on Sunday before Republic of Ireland’s opener on Monday.

But don’t worry, euro-fever may have gripped us here in the office but out on the road our couriers will be working tirelessly as ever to ensure on-time deliveries for all of our clients (and they will even do it with a smile whatever the scoreline may be!)

Who will you be supporting in the Euros? Let us know! You can comment below, tweet us (@RelayExpressLtd), or comment on our Facebook page  (/relayexpressltd). In the meantime, come on Iceland. I mean Ireland.

If you need a courier during the Euros, give us a shout on 01 450 5844 and we will look after you.
