Automatic for the people

Moving house is renowned as highly stressful and NewAddress.ie seeks to remove one of the hassles of setting up at the new gaff by automating the process of changing your contact details with all those companies you deal with.

It's a free service and, while it's not connected to many businesses yet, after you've entered your new details once, NewAddress distributes them to about 25 firms including Vodafone and Superquinn (its loyalty card scheme) and banks and insurance companies. Shame the site couldn't put up the full list of partner companies. It doesn't appear to automatically instruct An Post to redirect your mail either.

Don't go rushing to sign up yet anyway, the service doesn't appear to be live for now.
