FRS, the multimillion euro social enterprise co-operative, which maintains a strong presence in Cork, has rebranded as FRS Co-Op. The group, which employs approximately 250 people in Cork, includes several nationally renowned businesses, working across employment, fencing, government and training.
FRS Recruitment and WrkWrk, the temporary employment service, operate from an office in Distillery Lane in Midleton, while FRS Farm Services and FRS Fencing have premises in Bandon, Kanturk and Midleton. Turas Nua also runs offices in Cork City, Bandon, Bantry, Clonakilty, Fermoy, Kinsale, Macroom, Mallow, Midleton and Skibbereen. Other FRS businesses active in Cork include FRS Training, FRS Contract Services and Herdwatch, the leading farm management app.
On a national basis, FRS Co-Op employs 2,000 people across the group and has a turnover of circa €100 million. Originally founded in 1980 as National Co-op Farm Relief Services (NCFRS), it has since grown its operations in Cork and around the country, being active all across Ireland.
