Arrotek strives towards a greener future, and we fully support the move towards environmental sustainability. Work is currently underway to install electric car charging facilities outside of our premises in Finisklin Business Park in Sligo. More of our staff are investing in electric vehicles and this charging point will give them a convenient and hassle-free way to fuel up whilst also being kind to the environment. We are delighted to be able to offer this electric car charging point to our staff and customers.
Arrotek has made a donation to UNICEF’s Get a Vaccine, Give a Vaccine campaign to help the organisation in its efforts to deliver Covid-19 vaccines to the world's most vulnerable people.

The money donated to UNICEF will help to buy, transport, and administer Covid-19 vaccinations. Richard Loughlin from Arrotek said: “We are proud to support this...
