Frylite article in the RAI magazine
New RAI (Restaurant Association of Ireland) member, Frylite, which is a leading supplier and collector of vegetable oils to caterers throughout Ireland have recently opened a new depot and office in Cork.
Operating from its Strabane base, Frylite, who supply a range of fresh vegetable oils and collects and disposes of their customers used cooking oils for free, have continued to expand at a phenomenal rate opening no less than four new facilities in Coleraine, Galway, Dublin and now Cork over the past two years.
The opening of this new facility clearly marks a significant development in the company’s history in that they are now able to offer their unique service package on a nationwide basis to a new range of customers in various regions throughout the country.
Customers currently using Frylite’s free delivery and collection service vary in size from independent operators to national chains and include pubs, restaurants, hotels, fast food operators, major food processors and food service companies.
Explaining the new developments the company’s Managing Director, Eamon McCay, went on to explain we’ve come a long way over the past twenty years and have invested heavily in our infrastructure to allow us to meet customer demand which has been growing year on year. The announcement of the new facility in Cork enables us to better capitalise on an increased confidence and buoyancy within the Irish economy which has resulted in the creation of numerous new restaurants and eateries across the country. In addition to this, it is also a response to existing customers (operating on a national basis) who wanted to know when we’d be able to roll out our business model and service offering to their sites in other parts of the country.
Having successfully established ourselves in both the Galway and Dublin markets it was only a matter of time before we decided to move the business even further south” What sets Frylite apart from more traditional operators in the markets is that in addition to the supply, collection and disposal service which is the core offering of the company they are also able to offer their customers a range of added benefits which other suppliers find difficult to match. These include free supply and associated with more traditional operators and the peace of mind that a customer gets from knowing that Frylite are fully licensed by relevant authorities throughout the island of Ireland to collect and dispose of their customers waste in an environmentally friendly manner. Given that so much has happened in the company in such a short space of time one would wonder what plans Frylite has for the future.
The future looks bright for Frylite and not content with resting on their laurels Frylite clearly have their eyes fixed on the future and Managing Director Eamon McCay finally went on to add we’ve ambitious plans for the future which include consolidating upon the growth we’ve achieved and continuing to look after our customers in a highly professional and responsive manner. To ensure we continue to exceed expectations, we’re planning to add new a new range of specialty and olive oils to product portfolio and we’re also evaluating opportunities to make biodiesel in a new purpose built processing plant next to our new state of the art head office in Strabane”.
