Olleco, which supplies the hospitality sector with premium frying oils, collects its organic waste and converts it into renewable energy, is a long standing supporter of Hospitality Action, and its funds have been used by the charity to transform the lives of many of its beneficiaries.

The company has donated via its cooking oils, but staff has also got involved with the charity’s regional Golden Friends Scheme Lunches, which provide an opportunity for retirees from the industry to meet with old friends or make new ones, and means Olleco staff can volunteer their time to help support on the day.

Robert Behan, CEO of Olleco, said: “Our ongoing partnership with Hospitality Action means a huge amount to us and our customers. Every time our customers buy our cooking oils and ask us to collect their organic waste, they are not only helping the environment but they are helping to provide vital assistance to their peers. The charity does invaluable work to help support those in a sector that is core to our business and we look forward to many more years of partnership.”
