Purchasing policy
Key elements of the Hannan Meats purchasing policy are quality, price,
service and reliability. It is more important that price represents good
value for money, rather than a cheap product of inferior quality.
The company has a strong preference to source local produce and is
increasingly receiving requests from customers for 100% Irish products.
Peter Hannan, David Rosbotham and Ken Lightbody influence purchasing
decisions and agree terms.
Supplier requirement and ordering procedure
Supplier food safety standards are checked via a questionnaire and visits to
the supplier’s premises, for which there is no charge. HACCP is mandatory.
It is mandatory for all meat products to have an EU licence.
Supplier delivery windows and frequency of supply are up to five days per
week.
Orders are placed by email, phone and fax.
Geographical spread
There is a multi-temperature depot located in Moira, Co Armagh.
The geographical area serviced was originally Northern Ireland, Ireland
and key accounts in mainland United Kingdom, but the company now also
supplies to Portugal, France and Hong Kong.
The frequency of service out is up to five days a week.
Fleet size
The fleet consists of multi-temperature vehicles to service Northern Ireland
and outside contractors are used to service further afield.
