Living in the west of Ireland and with his family being involved in the insurance industry for over 50 years, Pa McNicholas has seen at first hand the damage that flooding can do to people’s property and their livelihood. With this in mind, along with his son Paul, they formed FloodResist Ireland and started searching the market for a flood defence system that was robust, quick to assemble/disassemble, easily stored and re-usable time and time again. They finally found an innovative Norwegian company that had such a product and in 2014, entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for Ireland with them. The company in question is Aquafence.
Aquafence manufacture a revolutionary and transportable flood barrier defence system which can be stored away and easily erected prior to a flood occurring. The products have been tried, tested and certified and have the backing of the Norwegian Government who offer Export Credit Insurance to potential clients.
Pa and Paul are confident that Aquafence products will play a very important part in flood protection in Ireland in the future.
FloodResist Ireland is the trading name of Xornada Ltd Coy Reg 519470
