A note from our founder
Back to what I know best: food.
John Daly
Founder & Managing Director
Hello everybody my name is John Daly and I created, developed and grew John Daly Refrigerated Foods Ltd into the top 3 food distribution companies on the Island of Ireland with a turnover of €14m pa. We had a wonderful time doing this and I worked with some of the finest staff and management one could have. (Always a few disappointments.)
It was extremely hard work sourcing products, building brands and delivering them in a condition fit for sale. Would you believe most of the products had between 7 days and 10 days shelf life. It was really demanding and I spent a lot of time away from my lovely wife and two children, so in 2005, I set about selling John Daly Foods Ltd. I had lots of interested parties but sold to the good people in Breeo Foods (Dairygold) in August 2006.

We also act as a platform for distribution into the central distribution centres in the north and south of Ireland for a small fee.
Our own chilled depots
We own chilled depots in Dublin and Galway which ensures that you are dealing with a John Daly, not outsourced to third parties.
History
A clean sheet, born February 2009.
Irelandfood.ie has no history as it is just born in February 2009.
Having no history means we have no losses and a clean sheet in order to offer the best practice when it comes to sales and distribution.
www.johndalyfoods is where it all happened and hopefully we can work hard to develop Irelandfood.ie into a similar operation but to do it much faster.
I have worked on a farm all my life and this really stood to me when it comes to innovation and moving product from A to B in a cost effective and efficient manner.
Then
John Daly Refrigerated Foods grows into one of the top 3 food distributors on the island of Ireland.
