Ryobi launch Orchardville Academy

Jun 4, 2024

We are delighted to announce our new venture with Orchardville which will launch in July of this year. The Orchardville Academy in Ryobi Aluminium Castings UK Ltd is the first of its kind in Northern Ireland and provides on site training for people with neurodivergent and/or additional needs. This programme will help the participants transition in to the work environment with hands on experience while also gaining an OCN certificate on completion. At the end of the programme the service users will either gain employment through Ryobi, where roles are available, or Orchardville will help match them to other relevant available roles. If you or someone you know is interested in this course, please get in touch with Orchardville or Ryobi Aluminium Castings for further information.
Christine McGrath (Materials Manager), who is behind the launch of the Orchardville Academy at Ryobi said:
“I am delighted to be an advocate for Orchardville within my company and community. Work ethic of the team and vibrant personalities is invaluable. The ongoing project surrounding implementation of an Acadamy is a very exciting opportunity for all and I am dedicated to its success”

Annual Charity Golf Event – 30th June 2024

Feb 21, 2024

We are delighted to inform you that our 3rd annual charity golf event has been organised for Sunday the 30th of June at Edenmore Golf club.

Again, this event has been organised to raise money for the NI Children’s Hospice, and with the recent news of the hospice getting their government funding cut, they need help from events like this more than ever. Last year we smashed the target of £2500 and raised £4000. We have set a target of £2500 again this year so lets smash that again. To put that into perspective, if every Ryobi employee donated £5, we easily could raise £3000.

Please spread the word about this event and hopefully we can raise a lot of money that goes to a great charity that helps extremely sick children to give them a better standard of life while having to deal with their daily struggles and aliments.

The event is open to everyone, employees, customers, suppliers and all members of the public so please encourage friends and family to get involved if they would like to play. Last year we had 24 players, I hope we can achieve more than 24 this time round.

Even if you are not interested in playing in the event you can still donate money to the event using the link below.

Thank you very much in advance for anyone who donates or participates in the event.

Ryobi Outreach 2023

Oct 25, 2023

Its been a great year for our CSR team and our outreach activities.
Ryobi have been operating in Carrickfergus for over 30 years now and its a pleasure and a privilege to be able to give something back to the local communities and particularly good causes. Many thanks to all our employees and sponsors who helped fun raise for many of these organisations. Its humbling to see how generous people are, despite the current economic situation that everyone finds themselves in. Really excited to start working with Carrick Connect on their planned Connect with Christmas initiative. Our Ryobi Xmas giving tree will be going up soon and some volunteer elves will be on hand to help Carrick Connect sort and deliver pressies to families in need to ensure the wee ones have the Xmas that all children deserve! Roll on 2024!
