We’ve been proud to partner with numerous athletes over the years and are now honoured to be able to play a part in the Road to Tokyo providing refuel meals for Team Ireland. Our sports catering division will provide an array of nutritionally balanced meals of the highest quality. It is a fantastic way for us to be able to assist them in their preparations towards another successful Olympics.
