Aubrey McCarthy, who is the owner and founder of AMC Removals, has added another string to his bow.

He has just this week been elected to the upper house in the Irish Parliament. He now sits as an independent member of Seanad Éireann and has made significant strides not only in politics and social causes but also in the moving industry.

A graduate of Trinity College Dublin, Aubrey’s diverse career spans entrepreneurship, charity work, and public service, all of which have shaped his innovative approach to business.

Aubrey is well-known for founding Tiglin, a charity dedicated to supporting individuals facing homelessness and addiction. His commitment to social enterprise extends into the moving industry, where he has led initiatives aimed at improving labour standards, promoting sustainable practices, and ensuring ethical business operations. His companies have not only provided quality moving services but have also created employment opportunities for marginalised communities, including those recovering from addiction or homelessness.

Under Aubrey’s leadership his moving company AMC Removals has grown, with a reputation for moving corporate and diplomatic clients worldwide. AMC, based in Dublin, is also renowned in the moving sector for its integrated environmentally friendly practices, aligning with his broader goal of sustainability. This includes the use of carbon-neutral transportation methods and eco-friendly packing materials, reflecting Aubrey’s work on Ireland’s first carbon-neutral social housing project with Tiglin.

Senator McCarthy’s unique blend of social activism, business acumen, and political influence has positioned him as a transformative figure in the moving industry, demonstrating how entrepreneurship can be a force for both economic and social good.
