Coleraine Firm Win Business From Harrods
The Good Food and Wine Company, Coleraine-based specialists in high quality artisan products, has been helped by Invest Northern Ireland to win business from Harrods in London.
The company took part in a Meet the Buyer event organised by Invest NI in London and secured business for its 'Hot Toddy' drink, a non-alcoholic spiced apple juice, to the high-end retailer in London's Knightsbridge.
The initial contract with Harrods was welcomed by Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director: "This is an immensely encouraging success for a small and ambitious company that is keen to grow its business outside Northern Ireland.
"Our Meet the Buyer events help companies to benefit from the relationships that we have developed with key decision makers in major retailers in Great Britain, the Republic of Ireland and further afield.
"This success is an example of how companies prepared to present products professionally, follow up business leads generated as quickly as practicable and allocate the required time and effort to secure the contract can achieve success and win new business."
The company has received a range of support from Invest NI including R&D assistance for product development, part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, an Innovation Voucher, technical advice and marketing support.
