Portadown Firm To Invest Over £100,000 To Boost Sales In GB And RoI
Greenisland Flowers Ltd, a Portadown-based horticulture firm, is investing over £100,000 as part of plans to boost sales in Great Britain and particularly in the Republic of Ireland.
Invest Northern Ireland is supporting the company's market development activities, which includes recruiting two new production technicians and the purchase of new processing equipment.
Greenisland Flowers provides cut flowers to a number of UK and Republic of Ireland owned retailers and is aiming to grow this side of the business as well as target new market opportunities as a result of its investment. Managing Director Shane Donnelly, said: "To drive progress we recognised the need to reduce seasonality, improve shelf-life and drive efficiencies in our processing activities. Our new bunching line has already improved the workflow within the cut flower processing facility and allows us to process a wider range of flowers at a greater capacity. With that capability in mind, we aim to develop sales of new products with higher margins, such as summer field-cut flowers, Winter Tulips and All year round Oriental Lily's, to boost our revenue and profits."
Invest NI has offered Greenisland Flowers £22,613 towards its growth and development efforts.
