Two family businesses Fitzpatricks and Hanleys established in the 1940’s, succeeded respectively by a second generation of brothers and finally merged as one company in May 1998, led to the formation of Caterway. This brief synopsis provides the background to Caterway, a wholly owned Irish company involved in the wholesale supply of fruit and vegetables to the catering industry. This business steeped in tradition and experience now employs over 50 people from our base in Dublin 15.
