RHI Secures Apple Contract

Rain Harvesting Ireland (RHI) in Coleraine has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to win significant business at the Apple IT operation in Cork.

RHI’s rainwater harvesting system will be used by Apple in its environmental conservation strategy being implemented as part of the expansion of its Cork office. The company currently supplies its systems to private and public sector clients in Northern Ireland, the Republic and Great Britain.

Des Gartland, Invest NI North West Regional Office Manager, said: “We have worked closely with this progressive and ambitious company in the development of its impressive technology particularly in the conservation and recycling of rain water, a rapidly developing market opportunity. The company is now marketing its know-how and technology very professionally in export markets and is beginning to see success from its commitment to sales outside Northern Ireland.”

RHI MD Jonathan Coyle stated: “This is an immensely significant and encouraging contract for us because it represents a terrific endorsement by one of the world’s biggest technology corporations.”
