FRS, the multimillion euro social enterprise co-operative, which maintains a strong presence in County Roscommon, has rebranded as FRS Co-Op.
The group, which employs approximately 12 people in Roscommon, includes several nationally renowned businesses, working across employment, fencing, government and training.
FRS Fencing, FRS Training and FRS Farm Services maintain an office, store and yard in Boyle, while other FRS businesses active in Roscommon include FRS Recruitment, 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 the National Co-op Farm Relief Services (NCFRS), it has since grown its operations in Roscommon and around the country, being active all across Ireland.
Speaking about the rebrand, Colin Donnery, Group CEO of FRS Co-Op said, “We want all customers, clients, colleagues, friends and stakeholders in Roscommon to know about our new name and what it represents”.
“This is an exciting time for FRS Co-Op in Roscommon 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 Roscommon and beyond,” said Mr Donnery. “We know we can get more done by working together and growing together with our colleagues, our customers and our communities in Roscommon and across Ireland. It’s what we’ve always done. It’s the FRS Co-Op way.”
