About me

Aoife Ryan has been working with food since 2009, firstly as a food & drink blogger, then as head of buying for an airline retail supplier. 

Aoife joined Avoca in 2021 as Head of Ambient Food Buying with a mission to bring more micro, local and national suppliers to join the food & drink range in the Avoca Food Markets.  She works closely with Bord Bia, LEO's and local food groups to identify potential new suppliers, as well as developing new Avoca brand products.

Aoife previously developed buy on board menus for airlines including Ryanair, Aer Lingus, LATAM & SWISS, bringing both a local and international range to their menus, as well as developing private label products for airline clients.
