Paul juggled his time between attending classes and setting up the business, using his student loan to fund the venture. Now based in Belfast, the company claims to offer 'a low cost solution to students shipping their excess baggage around the UK' and 'an unrivaled service in terms of price, speed and customer service with no hidden extras.'
