Diversifying into new areas means more business opportunities. That’s why the entire company – from management to warehouse – eagerly embraced ISME Skillnet Training. The excellent courses combined great choice with “cost effective” pricing. All our employees have benefitted greatly from the training on offer. ’

Our fruit smoothies have gone down extremely well since we started. So too has the help we got from ISME. We used them mainly for marketing initiatives and networking events. It’s always good to meet other ambitious companies. Access to good people has helped us overcome many challenges we faced. ISME really has been a great help there.’

As an ambitious precast company, we are looking beyond Ireland to grow our business. That’s why ISME is critical to our success. They ensure that our voice is heard by politicians and senior civil servants. ISME has been instrumental in getting many key and complicated issues addressed including prompt payments, procurement and banking. ’

Ever since we opened our first shop, we’ve had a hunger for even greater success. ISME has been tremendously supportive, especially in the area of HR and advice. And if we ever have any questions, they are only a phone call away. We’d love to expand, but it’s tough when you only have one pair of hands. That’s why I really appreciate ISME being on call with all the backup and advice I need. ’

At Keogh’s, we don’t just make the most delicious crisps, we grow all our own potatoes, too. So we’re a growing business in every sense. From a HR perspective, ISME has helped us go from just 10 people to today where we have a staff of 80. ISME’s support and advice have been invaluable. It’s also good to know they’re always there should any issues crop up. ’

Being an ISME member has many benefits, including its Affinity Programme for insurance, telecoms and IT. While using the combined buying power of the group provides reduced rates and value, as we scale our business. ’
