FRS, the multimillion euro social enterprise co-operative, with a strong presence in Kildare, has rebranded as FRS Co-Op.

The group employs approximately 30 people in Kildare, and includes several nationally renowned businesses.

FRS's Turas Nua operation runs offices in Athy, Maynooth and Naas, whilst FRS Farm Services has a number of its team members working throughout the county.

It also has many active businesses in Kildare, such as FRS Recruitment, FRS Training, FRS Fencing, FRS Contract Services, Herdwatch, and WrkWrk.

Speaking about the rebrand, Colin Donnery, Group CEO of FRS Co-Op said, “We want all customers, clients, colleagues, friends and stakeholders in Kildare to know about our new name and what it represents.

"Since it was formed in 1980, co-operation with our colleagues and neighbours has been central to everything we do in FRS. We’ve always had deep roots in our local communities, in Kildare 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."
