Tetrosyl Ireland is up and running

Since the launch of the Irish entity back in early summer, Tetrosyl Ireland’s entry to the market has been warmly received to date.

Speaking recently to Bodyshop.ie, David Byrne, managing director of Tetrosyl Ireland Limited said: “We are delighted with our introduction to the Irish market. Initially, we opened our offering to the Republic of Ireland, but since opening in June, our scope now spans into Northern Ireland.

“Like with any other business opening, it has come with the usual, but surmountable, challenges and obstacles. Overall, we as a team, are extremely pleased with the reception we have received so far by our partners and customers.

“We are still very much in our infancy in the market, but demand for the range has been buoyant to date and we expect this to grow exponentially over the next 24 months.”

Byrne added: “It also helps that we are in a unique position to offer over 47,000 lines of stock across 26 of our own brands, and as a result, there is a wide and varying catalogue all under one roof – a one stop shop of sorts.

“We have strategically positioned ourselves to efficiently distribute all Tetrosyl brands throughout the country. Our core focus will be pillared on a customer centred focus. It’s easy to sell someone something once, we want to build, mutually rewarding partnerships, long into the future, both in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.”

Tetrosyl Ireland Limited now employs a total of 10 full-time staff, with a further 12 roles set to be filled in various departments over the next six to 12 months.

Product supply is centralised from its facility, ensuring enhanced accessibility to the complete range of Tetrosyl offerings.

Commenting earlier on this development, Peter Schofield, chairman of Tetrosyl Group Limited, expressed his enthusiasm, saying: “The launch of Tetrosyl Ireland Limited earlier in the summer marked a momentous occasion for our organisation.

“Ireland has always been a key market for us, and with the establishment of this dedicated hub, we are now even better positioned to serve our valued customers on the island of Ireland.

“This investment underlines our commitment to delivering unparalleled service and products of the highest quality.”
