Banbridge Firm Wins £1.4m Asda Deal

A leisure vending firm in Co Down has scooped a £1.4million deal with supermarket retailer Asda.

Clearhill in Banbridge will now install its products in over 100 Asda stores.

Brian McAreavey, Commercial Director for Clearhill said: "The Asda contract is the latest in a recent run of big successes for Clearhill and is indicative of the scale on which we are operating right now. We have invested in the recruitment of new members of staff across a range of skilled positions and are always growing and improving.

"With more than 200 customers hosting over 2,000 pieces of machinery, Clearhill is the industry's market-leader on the island of Ireland with 76% market share. The company which has been operating for almost 25 years also has a 35% share in the UK market which is still growing.

"We will initially be rolling out our latest range of Kiddie Rides to 112 Asda stores with hopes to increase that number in 2017. These rides will include the newest interactive games and licensed brands including Peppa Pig, PAW Patrol and Disney."
