RHI Scoops Business In Cork

Rain Harvesting Ireland (RHI) in Coleraine has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to win significant business at the Apple IT operation in Cork.

RHI's rainwater harvesting system will be used by Apple in its environmental conservation strategy being implemented as part of the expansion of its Cork office.

RHI has received a range of Invest NI assistance in the development and marketing of its technology and products including an innovation voucher, R&D support, which is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, technical and design support in the development of the new system and assistance for export marketing.

The company currently supplies its systems to private and public sector clients in Northern Ireland, the Republic and Great Britain.

Des Gartland, Invest NI North West Regional Office Manager, said: "We have worked closely with this progressive and ambitious company in the development of its impressive technology particularly in the conservation and recycling of rain water, a rapidly developing market opportunity.

"The company is now marketing its know-how and technology very professionally in export markets and is beginning to see success from its commitment to sales outside Northern Ireland."
