Congratulations to our Corporate Patron, DELI LITES Ireland who has won a new major contract with Aer Lingus to supply food across the UK and Europe.
The Warrenpoint-based food-to-go company will see five of its products listed for Aer Lingus customers to buy on board all European and UK routes for via its inflight ‘Bia’ menu.
This deal is the latest significant milestone for the business as it continues to grow at home and abroad, now supplying 30 million food-to-go and artisanal bakery items across Europe every year, with other major customers including Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Costa.
In 2022, DELI LITES Ireland also became the first sandwich manufacturer globally to achieve BCorp certification, reflecting its commitment to using business as a force for good.
As a Chamber, we are immensely proud to have Jackie Reid, Co-Founder of DELI LITES Ireland sit on our Board of Directors alongside 14 other incredible local business leaders.
The DELI LITES story is a truly inspiring one as the business continues to soar from its humble beginnings and we wish you every continued success in the years to come.
Speaking after the news of the announcement, Jackie said:
“Aer Lingus is one of the world’s great airlines, Ireland’s flag carrier and it is a huge milestone for our company to have our products sold onboard in the skies across Europe and the UK.”
Susanne Carberry, Chief Customer Officer at Aer Lingus added:
“At Aer Lingus, we seek to make every journey count for our customers and we pride ourselves on providing an exceptional onboard experience.”
“DELI LITES Ireland’s products are a fantastic addition to our ‘Bia’ offering and will help us to enhance our inflight food range even further.”
