Dromara firm eases the burden
The small company, established in December 2011 by Clare Medland, used a range of Invest NI programmes to develop the Rolltack, a versatile saddle trolley.
Miss Medland, who runs the business with the support of Anne, her sister, and niece Louise, said: “The idea for Rolltack came from our own experiences in handling heavy and awkward riding tack. I hadn’t any design or manufacturing experience and turned to Invest NI for help. The support I received was fantastic at every level”.

The business aims to create three new jobs over the next year.
