We at Quinlan’s Fish, are delighted to announce a €12 million deal with John Stone Beef to supply our Kenmare-Select Smoked Salmon range to our customers throughout Europe, America, The Middle and Far East markets.
The deal, worth €12 million over 5 years, will see Quinlan’s Multi-Award-Winning Smoked Salmon products being listed in some of the world’s most luxurious restaurants and hotels along with the finest of Irish Beef which John Stone already supplies to customers throughout the world.
As John Stone says themselves “John Stone Beef is an artisan producer, but we have a global reach. All our produce is sourced in Ireland and dry aged and butchered in our Longford factory but tonight – in Tokyo, Hanoi, Dusseldorf, Manilla, Dubai and Singapore – they’re eating John Stone Beef”.
Commenting on the deal Liam Quinlan said, “this will hugely add to our portfolio of high-end discerning clients that only want the best on their tables”. Liam Quinlan added that “this deal would not be possible without the dedication of our tremendous team in Cahersiveen. Especially our Master Smoker Sean Jones who has worked tirelessly to, not only maintain but constantly improve the high standards of our Kenmare-Select range of Salmon”.
As the values of Quinlan’s Fish and John Stone Beef are very closely aligned, both companies feel that collaborating will be of mutual benefit and will increase the visibility of the worldwide audience of two Irish Family Businesses.
Tim Stone stated that they “have been searching for the right partner for some time and The Quinlan Family are synonymous with the highest quality Smoked Salmon and have a rich history going back to 1963 so it was the right fit for our business”. He added “Our businesses are very similar in that only the best will do and whole team in Cahersiveen are meticulous in the way they produce their Smoked Salmon. This will raise the bar on how small Irish companies can come together to have a global reach”.
