Musgrave MarketPlace is to invest €650,000 to support reopening of Irish Hospitality
The wholesale supplier to foodservice, retail, and SME businesses has launched a range of new initiatives to support the industry and assist the reboot and recovery of the sector
The nationwide campaign encourages consumers to support their local hospitality businesses to help the industry get back on its feet by dining out responsibly.
Speaking to RedFM News Marketing director with Musgrave MarketPlace Desi Derby says the sector is worth millions to the economy so it's vital to get it kickstarted.
"Pre Covid, this sector was worth 6.3 billion to our economy, employing up to 250,000 people. So this is a really important sector, not just you know, for consumers, but for our economy and kickstarting that sector is really important as we emerge, and in some shape or form out of Covid."
