A busy schedule of events, in which experts and top players will share case histories and know-how, cooking shows, competitions, and conferences, will make this trade fair unmissable.

Why Choose Ramco?

We’ve been at the forefront of the circular economy since 1996, on a mission to give surplus assets a new lease of life. During that time, we’ve helped foodservice equipment distributors make more of their unwanted equipment. Over the years, we’ve found new homes for combi ovens and grills to fridges, freezers, and everything in between. It’s better for the environment, reduces disposal costs, and unlocks vital capital that can be reinvested. We understand the importance of compliance and ease of process. That’s why we take care of everything from decommissioning, collection, and refurbishment right through to sales.

We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver and being the trusted advisers to many ceda members and below are a couple of testimonials from Industry members that we currently act for.

We have dealt with Darren Cronin for a number of years and find the service, professionalism, help and advice he gives our three companies to be second to none. There is simply no one else who we would want to deal with. Darren and Cronin Insurance were thorough and really helpful when we had a fire at our offices at the beginning of the year. They sorted everything out for us, so we didn’t have to worry about any of the process and could carry on running the business. Not everyone is lucky enough to deal with Darren, but if anyone wanted to take the leap then I can personally recommend him and his company.

We are delighted to hear that Cronin Insurance are now a recognised supplier to ceda. We have used Darren Cronin and his firm for a number of years and his attention to detail and understanding of our business, as well as the industry that we operate in, has truly complimented Vision. We find their service and advice to be timely and reliable. If we have a query,  question or simply need some advice, its dealt with professionally, competently and quickly,  which is what we need from our Insurance Broker and Cronin certainly fulfil that role. We don’t view Cronin as just another Broker, we see them as an extension of our business, part of the team and one of our trusted advisers.
