He adds ' While we await the outcome of the UK’s exit negotiations, it’s interesting to note that a number of WTO members including the EU and the major world economies have already negotiated the Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) to ensure open, fair and transparent conditions of competition in the government procurement markets.'

William Allingham, Quadcrate

SEVEN years into his business venture, William Allingham is starting to taste success.


He has developed and patented a unique farming device – QUADCRATE – that attaches to the front or back of a quad to help a farmer carry small animals, posts and other farming utensils into areas that a tractor and trailer cannot reach. From Garrison, the 36-year-old farmer had no background in business when he came up with the QUADCRATE concept.

THE Quadcrate product range, has continued to develop over the last few years with the help of Invest Nl and InterTradeIreland, who have also helped with marketing.

The Quadcrate attachments are now 40 per cent lighter, more user friendly and are designed to unlock all utility ATVs untapped potential.
