Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

There are growth opportunities for Irish suppliers in all areas of the
Company’s menu: breakfast, snack and lunch items.

The Company is continuously looking for single serve food products to add
to their menu as well as fillings for their sandwiches and rolls as they try to
improve and vary their offering to school children.
Glanmore Foods is a member of Guaranteed Irish and as such, aims to
source the vast majority of raw materials and food products locally.

Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

The Company uses only Irish if the products are available in Ireland.

Glanmore Foods has an Approved Supplier List. Initial contact is made by
the supplier to the Company and if the raw material or finished product are
deemed suitable, then samples should be supplied for analysis and tasting
by the Product Development Team.

The next step is that the supplier is audited by the Company’s Quality
Assurance Manager and if satisfied, the supplier is added to the Approved
Supplier List.

Glanmore Food requires External Accreditations in addition to the Supplier
Audit.
Suppliers are required to deliver to the Manufacturing Unit in
Blanchardstown.
