         Product mix

          At it’s core, Levy Ireland’s key philosophy is loyalty: loyalty to the island of
          Ireland, loyalty to locally recruited employees, loyalty to clients and loyalty
          to procuring Irish produce.

          Everyone who works at Levy Ireland is empowered to bring their true self to
          work, and that’s why they are building a team that reflects the diversity of
          the customers and clients they serve.

          With a love for trying new flavours and techniques, a sustainable mindset
          and a talented network of passionate foodies, Levy is in the business of
          serving great food.
          1.   Local Produce
          2.   Sustainability
          3.   Quality

          The company is committed to buying Irish products and ingredients, when
          and where possible.

          The majority of its goods are purchased from the island of Ireland and Levy
          is committed to purchasing 100% Irish red meat, poultry and dairy.
          Food preparation is venue dependent, however all food is served to give
          the best quality and taste in compliance with food and safety legislation.

         Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

          While constantly reviewing market changes and trends, combined with a
          focus on reducing their carbon footprint, suppliers should engage on these
          initiatives for future planning and new product development.

          The company also has a policy of building long-term relationships with
          producers. At the same time, the company is open to discussions with new
          producers of innovative products.
