FRS, the multi-million-euro social enterprise co-operative, which maintains a strong presence in Galway, has rebranded as FRS Co-Op.
The group, which employs 22 people in Galway, includes several nationally renowned businesses, working across employment, fencing, government and training.
FRS Recruitment and FRS Training operate an office in Ballybrit, while FRS Fencing has a premise in Athenry. Members of the FRS Farm Service team are also located around the county.
Other FRS businesses also active in Galway include FRS Contract Services, Herdwatch, the leading farm management app and WrkWrk, the temporary employment service.
On a national basis, FRS Co-Op employs 2,000 people across the group and has a turnover of circa €100 million.
Originally founded in 1980 as National Co-op Farm Relief Services (NCFRS), it has since grown its operations in Galway and around the country, being active all across Ireland.
“We want all customers, clients, colleagues, friends and stakeholders in Galway to know about our new name and what it represents,” said Colin Donnery, Group CEO of FRS Co-Op.
“We’ve always had deep roots in our local communities, in Galway and anywhere else that we are active. We know that we grow better together, a belief that is ingrained in everything we do. That is why we wanted the co-op aspect of our business to be more prominent in our new branding.
“This is an exciting time for FRS Co-Op in Galway and beyond as we look to build on the considerable achievements we’ve made over the last 40+ years, knowing that our strength has always been the relationships and connections we’ve made in Galway and beyond.
“We know we can get more done by working together and growing together with our colleagues, our customers and our communities in Galway and across Ireland. It’s what we’ve always done. It’s the FRS Co-Op way,” Mr. Donnery concluded.
