Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

The Company is always looking for new areas to expand their product
offering. A key area of growth for the company will be expanding their food
& beverage offering in new projects and Dublin Airport – this could provide
excellent opportunities for Irish suppliers to provide new and additional
products. For example, there are opportunities for healthy snacks and non-
alcoholic beverages.

The Wright Group is open to contact from new Irish suppliers that can offer
quality food ingredients and innovation that can be incorporated into the
Company’s menus.
The Wright Group is Irish and proud of it and is open to working with new
concepts to develop and deliver quality bars and restaurants to their
customers.

The company is aware that many products are sourced overseas that can
be produced by Irish producers and this is their focus.

Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

The Company has a strong focus on sourcing locally and is continuing to
look for products that can be produced in Ireland.

All purchasing decisions are centralised with the decisions made at Head
Office level by senior management.

Once a decision is made to source a product, the Purchasing Manager will
set the product up on Access Procure Wizard for all of the managers of each
site to order from. The Company prefers to deal directly with suppliers to
ensure quality standards, service records, reputation and service standards.
