Flogas Celebrates 1,000th Natural Gas Connection In NI

Flogas marked its 1,000th commercial natural gas connection in Northern Ireland with a touch of Hollywood glamour as the Movie House cinema chain signed up two of its branches to Flogas Natural Gas.

The Movie House cinemas in Cityside Belfast and Coleraine will now be using Flogas natural gas for heating.

Offering discounts of up to 10% cheaper than its nearest rival, the Flogas natural gas offer has been an unqualified success since its launch and is now available to all commercial customers on the natural gas pipeline throughout Northern Ireland.

John Rooney, managing director of Flogas, said: "We continue to receive an enthusiastic response from customers across Northern Ireland over our arrival into the commercial natural gas market. They are pleased to see real competition and choice being offered in relation to both prices and customer service levels. Achieving 1,000 connections so soon following our launch shows that there is a real demand for a quality natural gas offering that is highly competitive."

Hugh Brown, general manager, Movie House Cinemas NI, said: "We're open seven days a week, at least 12 hours a day, and it's important that our cinemas are just the right temperature so that our customers are comfortable while they relax and enjoy a great trip to the movies. We’re always looking for ways to control this overhead but it has to be from a reliable provider. Along with the discount package, it was the Flogas track record that helped to seal the deal."

Flogas Natural Gas is a leading supplier of natural gas to the commercial and residential sectors in Ireland. It already serves thousands of business enterprises located on the natural gas pipeline in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford, including McDonalds Restaurants and the Musgrave Group as well as the Radisson and Jury Hotel chains. Since entering the Northern Ireland natural gas market, notable signings have included the Potted Hen restaurant, AM:PM, Rascals Day Nurseries and a range of other businesses across a number of commercial sectors.

Flogas has an established track record in the LPG sector in Northern Ireland since 1979 in the commercial, leisure, catering, industrial and residential sectors. The expansion into Natural Gas for commercial customers has brought additional benefits to its existing customer base and opened up new business opportunities for the company.
