Veon Ltd is Ireland’s leading forestry company with over 25 years forest management experience. The company currently manages over 40,000 acres of forestry of high quality commercial forests in Ireland and Scotland with a combined value in excess of €150 million. Veon has established over 15,000 acres of forestry in Ireland.

Our services are tailored towards maximising the commercial benefits of forestry for our clients. We are constantly investing in our staff and systems to deliver the best possible results making forestry a profitable and rewarding enterprise for our clients. Veon is headquartered in Co. Dublin and has four regional offices strategically located throughout Ireland – Co. Wexford, Co. Galway, Co. Leitrim & Co. Kerry. Veon (Scotland) Ltd office is based in Edinburgh.

Veon’s professional services and innovative management and state-of-the art information technology systems ensure that we remain the market leaders in forest management in Ireland and Scotland. The company offers forestry investment services to a wide range of Irish and international clients from farmers to family wealth offices.

Veon Limited is the forest manager for the Irish Forestry Funds and is the only private forestry company in Ireland which is registered with the Central Bank as an Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM).

Veon’s client-focus and individually tailored forest management solutions are designed to meet varying requirements. We acquire high quality conifer plantations that are high yielding, larger than average in area and are commercially oriented. As one of the largest national purchasers of commercial forestry, Veon is constantly monitoring prices and market trends to ensure that we deliver the most successful outcome for our clients.

An increasing number of clients have expressed a desire to include a hardwood component to their forest portfolio and Veon’s specialist foresters are experienced in delivering advanced professional services to these forest owners. All sixteen of Veon’s professional graduate foresters are members of the Society of Irish Foresters and are PSCS qualified.

Veon’s establishment service is similarly focused on creating high quality commercial plantation portfolios for our clients. With over 25 years’ experience in land and plantation purchases, Veon’s acquisition managers have a keen insight into what forestry investors are seeking. We follow a rigorous analysis and vetting procedure when acquiring plantations and this has ensured that the company is the leading purchaser of such plantations in Ireland. The resulting plantations are twice the national average in terms of size, higher Yield Class and are well located close to markets.

Veon’s harvesting service is centred on investing in the final crop and adding value to the plantation to maximise profit for the owner. In all thinning operations, Veon’s objective is simple: create more value in the client’s forests and maximise the potential value of the final clearfell crop. With this in mind, Veon has invested considerably in our foresters and new technologies to become the most innovative and professional forestry team in Ireland. The forest estate managed by Veon ranges from young to mid-rotation forests, but is already producing substantial amounts of timber for the Irish market from early thinnings. This will continue to grow significantly over the coming years as client’s forest portfolios mature and as the company increases the size of its national portfolio estate.

Veon provides consultancy services to government and to utility companies at home and abroad and has consulted on large-scale forest modelling and forest restoration projects in Asia. Veon is also very proud to be involved as the Irish partner in the Sustainable Innovative Mobilisation of Wood SIMWOOD EU 7th Framework Programme (FP7).
