Codex, Ireland’s leading B2B provider of office supplies and solutions, has launched a new range of neuroinclusive workplace products designed to help Irish employers provide a more inclusive working environment for employees.
The ‘Thrive by Codex x AsIAm’ product range consisting of 34 Autism friendly products, were developed and tested in collaboration with AsIAm, Ireland’s Autism charity in real workplace settings and were launched on the opening day of the Autism Europe Congress in Dublin, of which Codex is a platinum sponsor.
With the launch of its new neuroinclusive product range, Codex has become a leading advocate for the acceptance of neurodivergent employees and the need for more inclusive working environments. The company published a report earlier this year – ‘Neuroinclusion in the Workplace’ – which highlighted some of the daily challenges for neurodivergent employees including sensitivity to noise and light as well as issues with communication and social interaction.
With the findings from the report and the research that was carried out, Codex has been working with AsIAm to launch its new range of products designed to foster a more inclusive and adaptive working environment. The centrepiece of the new range are bespoke, AsIAm endorsed ‘Balance Booths’ that allow employees to physically remove themselves from the noise and bustle of the work environment while remaining connected to their teams. ‘The Balance Booths’ have been designed with unique sensory features to provide further regulation opportunities, including tactile ridged dots on the underside of the table for sensory input, a fresh air feature, and coloured lights.
Other items in the new range include an acoustic lounge chair that provides a private, semi-enclosed space for employees who need to detach from the busy work environment and a range of office seats, stools and chairs including the ‘Swopper’, Numo Task chair and Variable kneeling chair that promote movement, which is vital to cognitive development and can also help employees to regulate and maintain focus.
The full neuroinclusive workplace product range is on display at the Autism Europe Congress in the RDS, which is being hosted by AsIAm and Autism Europe and where Codex is a platinum sponsor and exhibitor. Attendees at the 3-day event can try out the new pods and chairs for themselves and talk to members of Codex’s speciality Furniture and Interiors team about the products.
“We’re proud and excited to launch this groundbreaking range of neuroinclusive products that will help Irish employers and companies to build truly inclusive workplaces for their employees,” said Patrick Murphy, CEO of Codex and a keynote speaker at this week’s Autism Europe Congress in Dublin’s RDS.
“The new range has been developed in response to our own research, which found that many traditional workplace designs and social expectations can create unnecessary barriers for neurodivergent employees,” Mr Murphy said. “We were also delighted to be able to consult with our partners at AsIAm, who provided real-world insights and experience that helped to shape the new product offerings.
“We hope these new products will help pave the way for employers and employees to have a positive conversation about workplace inclusivity, starting here at the Autism Europe Congress,” Mr Murphy added.
Codex is already trusted by a range of organisations including universities and private sector companies to deliver products that support neurodivergent people. The company’s ‘Neuroinclusion in the Workplace’ report highlights ways in which employers can improve the everyday experience for neurodivergent employees or students.
“We welcome the launch of Codex’s neuroinclusive workplace range and are proud to have contributed to the development of these products, which are accessible and inclusive by design,” said Adam Harris, CEO of AsIAm “It is fitting that the new product range is being launched here at the 14th International Autism Europe Congress in Dublin and I’m sure ‘The Balance Booth’ and other products will be a big talking point among delegates.”

Building a startup keeps you on your toes. One moment, you’re closing a deal; the next, you’re preparing documents for a pitch or printing out marketing materials for an event. While most of your tools may be digital, there are still times when you need something printed—and fast. A commercial office printer brings speed, consistency, and polish to your growing business needs.
In this article, you’ll learn why many startups need commercial office printers. Read on for the details!
Creates a Strong First Impression
In the world of startups, presentations can make or break a deal. When you hand out high-quality documents that are crisp, clear, and well-formatted, it speaks volumes about your attention to detail. Whether you’re printing contracts, proposals, or marketing materials, having a dedicated business printer in your office helps ensure your documents look professional every time.
Many commercial office printers today are designed to deliver high-quality documents quickly and reliably. This attention to output makes them ideal for producing polished color prints, clean layouts, and sharp text. All of this contributes to building credibility and establishing your business as one that takes pride in its work.
Improves Office Productivity
Startups run on tight schedules, so your printing setup should match that pace. Every day brings tasks like preparing reports, creating handouts, or printing pitch decks. That’s why a commercial printer with faster printing speeds becomes a wise choice. It keeps your team moving and avoids the slowdowns that come with outdated or overworked machines.
As your workload grows, you’ll need a system that handles more without falling behind. Many workgroup printers are made for busy offices, taking on multiple jobs at once without delays.
These devices often feature automatic duplex printing and offer a high monthly duty cycle, so they stay productive even when demands increase. That kind of reliability means less waiting and more time spent on work, which moves your business forward.
Saves Money in the Long Run
At first glance, it might seem cheaper to stick with a home printer or rely on outside services. However, costs start piling up once you factor in the price of consumables and repeated service charges. Frequent ink replacements and last-minute print jobs quickly eat into your budget.
That’s where investing in a medium- or high-volume printer makes more sense. These machines are built for efficiency, as they use ink or toner more wisely and need less maintenance.
You’ll also get better control over printing requirements with the right commercial printer. You can track usage, manage supply levels, and reduce unnecessary waste. This predictability helps lower the cost of ownership and keeps your printing budget in check as your startup grows.
Simplifies Document Management
Running a business means dealing with different types of documents daily. Some are for internal use, while others are meant for clients, partners, or legal records. From simple black-and-white documents to colorful charts and presentations, your office printer should be able to manage different needs without trouble.
That’s where a modern business printer makes things easier. Many models include features that support smooth document management, like the ability to scan directly to email or upload to cloud storage. You can save frequently used print jobs and switch between different paper sizes without extra effort.
Streamlines Team Workflow
As your startup team expands, your office equipment needs to keep up with the added pressure. That’s where a multifunction printer proves valuable. It lets your staff handle scanning, copying, and printing all from one place, helping reduce clutter and confusion.
Many models come with helpful tools like an automatic document feeder, wireless connectivity, and mobile printing support to keep things moving smoothly. These features let team members print from their desks or even use mobile devices while on the move, making everyday tasks easier and faster.
In addition, built-in tools such as user authentication and advanced security features help protect sensitive documents and limit access to certain functions. This boosts team efficiency and ensures your document handling stays safe and well-organized.
Supports Your Marketing Needs
Digital tools have their place, but printed materials still carry much weight in marketing. Handing out flyers, brochures, or other promotional materials at events leaves a stronger impression than a screen ever could. Mailing these items to clients adds a personal touch that helps your brand stand out.
With a commercial printer, creating these materials becomes faster and more convenient. You can make last-minute edits, print immediately, and avoid outsourcing delays. This level of control keeps your marketing flexible and responsive.
Scales Easily With Business Growth
Growth brings new demands, and your equipment should rise to the challenge. As your startup gets busier, the need for a business-class printer that handles rising print volume becomes more crucial. You’ll want something that keeps its speed and quality no matter how much work you send.
To meet those demands, many printers offer useful expansion options. You can add extra trays for different paper input sources or include finishing features that help streamline more advanced tasks. These upgrades let your setup evolve without switching to an entirely new device.
Your team stays productive during transitions with a printer that grows with you. Whether you’re hiring more team members or settling into a larger office, a scalable printer continues to support your daily tasks and long-term business goals without missing a beat.
Conclusion
Your startup’s success depends on moving fast and making wise choices. A commercial office printer might seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in how your business runs day-to-day. From creating professional documents to handling high-volume tasks with ease, the right printer helps your team stay focused and productive. You’ll save time, cut unnecessary costs, and gain the flexibility to manage everything from client presentations to internal workflows.
The fear element that was released by Trump’s re-inauguration for second tenure caused a spike in Irish immigration. Trump’s stance on immigration during his first tenure was considered extreme and a threat to the freedom and security of millions of immigrants.
During his campaign for second tenure in 2024, he promised to double down and be far more aggressive about implementing the most spectacular migration crackdown. Irish-Americans who were in the US legally and illegally found the policies of President Trump hanging over them.
The immigration raids went up after President Trump returned to office, causing an increase in anxiety in the immigrant community including undocumented Irish people.
Notably, the United States and Ireland share relations beyond common ancestral ties and shared values. The relations extend to regular dialogue on political and economic issues, and official exchange in areas such as medical research and education.
President Trump recently declared March, ‘Irish-American Heritage Month’, because the Irish voted for him heavily in November 2024. If the Irish and Americans share such deep historical ties, how then do recent immigration policies specifically impact Irish immigrants?
This article will explore the reason behind the increase in Irish immigration amid the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency. It will analyze the fear and uncertainty felt by documented and undocumented Irish citizens in the US, and how businesses and citizens have reacted.
The Landscape of Irish Immigration to the US Before Trump’s Presidency
To understand the long-standing trend of Irish immigration to the United States, you need to know its landscape particularly before the early 20th century. Most Irish immigrants before the Great Famine were Protestants, and the Great Famine led to a massive influx of Irish Catholics.
Irish Immigration to the US slowed during the Great Depression and after the Immigration Act of 1924. Currently, over 31 million people claim Irish descent in the US, and although the exact number of undocumented Irish citizens is difficult to establish, it has been estimated to be about 10,000 people.
Common Legal Pathways for Irish Immigration to the US
Over the years, Irish citizens have legally relocated to the US through the various visa pathways.
The first pathway is through the immigrant visas for Irish citizens who wish to reside permanently in the US. They migrate through family-based visas, employment-based visas and diversity lottery visas.
The second pathway is through the non-immigrant visas for Irish citizens who want to enter the US for specific reasons over a temporary period.
The table below explains it further.
Visa Types
Purpose
1
B visas
B-1 for business
B-2 for tourism
2
F visas
For students
3
H visas
For temporary workers
H-1B for skilled workers
H-2A/H-2B for seasonal workers.
4
J visas
For exchange visitors
5
K visas
For fiancees/spouses of U.S citizens.
6
L visas
For intra-company transferees
7
O visas
For individuals with extraordinary abilities in science, film, athletics, or arts
8
P visas
For athletes and entertainers
9
R visas
For religious workers
10
U visas
For victims of crime
11
V visas
For family members of U.S. citizens who are in the process of obtaining permanent residence.
Only 1% of over 10,000 Irish immigrants have legally moved permanently to the United States. The Ireland’s Prime Minister’s meeting with President Trump in March shows the Irish’s Government lobbying efforts to secure pathways to legal status for undocumented Irish in the US.
Trump’s First 100 Days: Key Immigration Policies and Their Immediate Implications
In an interview with CBS News, Aisling, an undocumented Irish waitress claims that since ICE started raiding her neighbourhood, she fears that she may become a ‘collateral damage’.
This highlights the effect of Trump’s immigration policies on Irish citizens, but could that have been the cause of the increase in Irish immigration?
We will now consider key immigration policies and their immediate implications:
Deportation of Migrants
Over 1,000 people were removed on the fourth day of the Trump administration, and in the same week of entering office, over 5,000 people were detained by Border Patrol in San Diego and El Paso, Texas to be deported.
2. Ending the Migrants and Asylum Seekers Process
Within 100 days of being in office, President Trump suspended the entry of all undocumented migrants to the US and ordered border patrol agents to turn asylum seekers away without a hearing.
3. Scrapping the CBP One Smartphone App
Immediately Trump took office, the CBP One smartphone app, which migrants used to schedule appointments with US border patrol agents, was taken down and over 30,000 people with schedule appointments were said to be stranded inside Mexico.
4. Unannounced Raids and Increasing the Powers of ICE
The statistics released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) showed that approximately 6,648 undocumented immigrants were arrested within a week that Trump was sworn into office.
Most Irish immigrants believed that they could easily blend in when there was a raid because only criminals were targeted. However, the intensity of the raid made them scared and stopped going to work, church or even school.
Immigration experts believe that the aim was to force people to self-deport before they are caught. Could this be the reason why Irish immigration skyrocketed during that period?
Impact of Trump’s Presidency on Irish Immigration
How Irish Citizens and the Diaspora Reacted
Although, the Irish community in America lived in fear and anxiety of their undocumented status, some of them who were interviewed by CBS news believed that communities of color, hispanics and latinos are bearing the brunt of the immigration crackdown.
There were, however, reservations on becoming a ‘collateral damage’ target for the intense ICE raids. In an interview with BBC, Chicago-based immigration lawyer, Fionaa McEntee expresses that some Irish-Americans have empathy for what other people are going through and they stand in solidarity with them.
Even those with Green card are reluctant to travel due to concerns about anti-immigrant sentiment. The increased tension amongst Irish-Americans after Trump’s inauguration made those with Irish descent to consider returning back to Ireland, while others are considering relocating to Ireland to start afresh.
How Businesses Are Responding to Increased Irish Immigration
Employers express worry over workplace raids because they believe that it will lead to an exodus of workers in jobs that many Americans don’t want to do, but the White House is resisting.
Most tech and pharma companies that depend on their partnership with Ireland fear that the political tension in America will discourage investment decisions of Irish-based employers in the US.

Starting and running a business today has many advantages, such as flexibility, low overheads, and access to a worldwide market. However, with it come challenges that entrepreneurs need to overcome.
Maintaining a professional appearance when working at home or from a distance is one of those challenges. With no dedicated office to call one’s own, one can quickly lose credibility with clients, partners, and investors.
This is where a virtual business address comes in.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, freelancer, or small business owner, a virtual address can provide legitimacy and operational benefits that enhance the reputation and efficiency of your business.
But how do you obtain a virtual business address, and why is it essential for long-term success? This article explores the process of obtaining a virtual business address and its benefits.
Steps Involved In Getting A Virtual Business Address
The process of purchasing a virtual business address is relatively easy. Still, it requires a certain level of deliberation so that you can select one that is most suited to your business. There are several service providers with virtual addresses, each with a different feature, fee, and level of service.
The first step is to determine your business needs. If you only require a mail handling address, a basic virtual address service may suffice.
However, if you require additional services, such as telephone answering services, meeting space, or package handling, you should look for service providers that offer full-service solutions.
Next, choose a provider. There are a few of the most well-known providers that offer virtual addresses. When selecting a provider, consider price, location availability, customer support, and services included in the bundle.
For instance, if you are looking for a virtual office in London, you should choose one that offers different locations and is affordable.
Ideally, after you have picked a provider, you will have to select one of their available addresses. Usually, they have addresses in big cities, allowing you to establish a professional presence in a reputable business area—regardless of whether you’re working remotely or from home.
The final step is to complete the paperwork. With everything in place, you can use your virtual business address for official business mail, marketing materials, and registrations.
Why You Need A Virtual Business Address
A virtual business address has numerous advantages that can benefit companies of all sizes. As a freelancer or a startup business, a virtual address can make a professional impression and introduce you to more businesses without having to lease a physical office.
Here is a closer look at why you should have a virtual business address.
1. Professional Image
A business based at a home address will not appear professional to prospective clients, business partners, or investors. If clients see a residential address on your marketing materials, business cards, or site, they might question whether you are an actual business.
In such a case, a virtual address in a well-known business district makes your business appear more professional and reputable.
2. Privacy Protection
If you run a business from home, having your personal address on business records can expose you to privacy risks. Putting your home address on your website, invoices, or legal documents can attract unwanted visitors to your doorstep, unsolicited mail, and even security threats.
In addition, a virtual business address provides you with a layer of protection by hiding your home address. This is especially useful for entrepreneurs who would like to have a distinction between their business and personal life.
3. Regulatory Compliance
In most states, business firms are legally required to have a registered business address for tax and licensing purposes and official correspondence with government agencies. In some states, you may be unable to register a business with a P.O. box or a residence address when creating an LLC or a corporation.
4. Mail and Package Handling
A significant advantage of a virtual business address is receiving mail and packages. Many virtual address services offer mail forwarding, document scanning, and storage, allowing business owners to receive their correspondence without personally picking up their mail.
For instance, if you are a business person who is a digital nomad or you travel frequently on business trips, a virtual address ensures that you never miss important business mail.
Your provider can scan and email documents, forward mail to where you currently are, or securely store mail until you are ready to pick it up. Such convenience makes virtual addresses an excellent fit for business people who are always on the move.
5. Expansion Opportunities
For expanding business firms, a virtual address is an easy way to gain a presence in new markets. Instead of renting office space in a new city or overseas, companies can use a virtual address to have a local presence and attract customers in other areas.
For example, if you run an e-commerce business in a small town but need to reach customers in major cities, you can get a virtual address in a business area like New York, London, or Los Angeles.
This gives you a local address for business and can make communication with customers, partners, and investors in those cities much more convenient.
6. Cost Savings
Traditional offices come with costly rent, utility bills, maintenance charges, and long lease terms. These are major expenses for startups, solo workers, and small businesses. A virtual address offers most of the benefits of a brick-and-mortar office—a professional address, mail handling, and access to meeting space—for a small fraction of the expense.
Besides, a virtual business address is an ideal solution for organizations that need to cut down on unnecessary spending without losing a professional image. With a virtual business address, you can access a traditional office without overhead costs.
This is an excellent solution for today’s dynamic business activities.
Conclusion
A virtual business address is a smart investment for anyone who is a business owner and wants to be professional, remain private, and stay compliant without breaking the bank. Obtaining one is simple and has numerous benefits. If you are a freelancer who needs credibility or a remote worker who needs convenience, a virtual address can provide flexibility and legitimacy.
Having a solid business presence is a must in today’s digital era. A virtual business address allows you to achieve this easily without an office. With a provider and a package appropriate for you and your needs, you can access a professional business address anywhere.
Relocating an office is a big job. There’s a lot to think about, from packing up desks to ensuring that technology is safely transported. Technology is the backbone of most businesses today, so taking care of tech devices during an office move is crucial.
If you don’t plan well, things could break, or important data could be lost. But don’t worry! We have simple strategies to help you handle tech devices smoothly during your office relocation.
Start Early and Plan Ahead
When moving tech, it’s important to start planning well in advance. Don’t wait until the last minute to think about how to move computers, printers, or servers. Create a timeline for the relocation, and include the tech move.
The earlier you start, the better you’ll be able to identify potential issues. You may need special equipment to transport sensitive devices or backup plans for any tech problems during the move.
Label Everything Clearly
A simple way to stay organized is to label all your tech devices. Labels should indicate where each item, including cords, chargers, and accessories, belongs in the new office space. If you have multiple computers or devices, give them clear labels.
Back Up Data Before the Move
Before packing devices with important business information, back up all your data. This is crucial for avoiding the risk of losing valuable files. Check that all files are fully synced if your company uses cloud storage.
If you store files locally, back up your data to external drives or cloud services. This ensures that you won’t lose crucial documents or information if something happens during the move.
Choose the Right Packing Materials
Tech devices need to be packed carefully to avoid damage during the move. The proper materials include bubble wrap, foam padding, and sturdy boxes.
Avoid using old boxes that might not provide enough protection. Each device should be wrapped securely to prevent scratches or damage. Be especially careful with fragile items, such as computer monitors or printers.
Hire Experts for Special Equipment
If you have large servers or other high-tech equipment, consider hiring experts specializing in handling technology, such as office removal services near Dublin. They will have the tools needed to move sensitive equipment safely, reducing the risk of damage.
Special equipment, such as server racks or climate-controlled transportation, may be necessary for some moves. To ensure everything arrives safely, it’s best to leave this to the professionals.
Ensure Proper Setup in the New Office
Once the tech devices are safely transported, it’s time to set them up. Make sure everything is connected correctly and tested before employees start using it. Double-check that all cables are plugged in and devices are powered up.
Tech Devices: The Key to a Smooth Transition
Following these strategies doesn’t have to be stressful to relocate an office. You can ensure a smooth transition by planning, labeling everything, and backing up your data. Start early, stay organized, and you’ll be ready for the new office quickly.
Time to Make Your Move
Office relocations can be tricky, but with a little planning and care, your tech devices will be ready for action. Use these strategies to help make the transition as smooth as possible.
