YourPro, a prominent European technology platform connecting homeowners with qualified tradespeople, has expanded its services to Ireland. With plans to enroll 600 tradespeople this year, YourPro aims to revolutionize the Irish home improvement market by providing efficient solutions for urgent repairs, renovations, and home improvements. This article delves into the company’s entry into the Irish market, its investment plans, and the potential impact on the local tradespeople and consumers.
YourPro Expands its Services to Ireland
YourPro, a leading European platform facilitating the hiring of tradespeople, has officially launched its services in Ireland. The company’s primary goal is to enlist 600 tradespeople within the current year. Initially focusing on the greater Dublin area, YourPro has ambitious plans to extend its reach nationwide, offering a range of services aimed at assisting homeowners with urgent repairs, home improvements, and renovations.
Investment and Expansion Plans
To establish a robust presence in Ireland, YourPro has committed to investing €1 million and recruiting local staff. The company’s successful track record in Greece, Cyprus, and Portugal has positioned it as a reliable platform for over 350,000 customers seeking qualified professionals such as plumbers, painters, electricians, gardeners, and carpenters.
Market Potential and Customer Response
Andreas Grammatis, the founder and CEO of YourPro, emphasized Ireland’s appeal as a market due to its pool of tech-savvy, high-quality tradespeople. With the Irish home improvement market estimated at €3.2 billion annually, YourPro aims to capitalize on this potential.
YourPro’s innovative technology and support staff have enabled tradespeople to enhance their efficiency and expand their businesses. By streamlining administrative tasks and optimizing job schedules, tradespeople have reported sales increases of 20-30%. This not only benefits the tradespeople but also ensures customers access skilled, professional, and reliable services for their home improvement needs.
With over 90 job categories available on YourPro, ranging from renovations and cleaning services to plumbing and general repairs, the platform caters to a wide array of home improvement requirements. A survey conducted by YourPro revealed that a significant percentage of Irish individuals plan to invest up to €3,000 in home renovations in the next year. However, some consumers expressed concerns about the time taken for tradespeople to respond to service requests.
Looking Ahead
As YourPro continues to expand its footprint in Ireland and grow its network of tradespeople, the platform is poised to revolutionise the country’s home services sector. By fostering partnerships with tradespeople and enhancing customer experiences, YourPro aims to become a go-to platform for seamless, reliable, and efficient home improvement solutions in Ireland.
