A family business continuing the founder’s ethos
Boyles of Tralee has deep roots in the local community. The story began in 1964, when George Boyle founded Boyles Hardware in Killorglin, Co. Kerry. Following the success of the award-winning store – and with a keen eye for opportunity in the growing town of Tralee – a second branch was opened there in 1994.
Today, Topline Boyles remains a proud, family-run business. The Tralee store is managed by Adrian Boyle and is widely recognised for its expertise, friendly service and strong local presence. Over the years, Boyles of Tralee has become an integral part of everyday life in the town.
With more than 70 years of combined experience across hardware and DIY, the team continues to put their knowledge to work every single day – helping customers find practical, efficient solutions for their projects.
Standing out in a highly competitive market
With a strong heritage in construction, Boyles of Tralee immediately saw the potential of fibo Collect as a way to add tangible value for their customers. The system gives them a clear opportunity to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive market.
Innovation has always been part of the company’s DNA. Founder George Boyle was known for his forward-thinking mindset, and the decision to invest in fibo Collect aligns naturally with the innovative ethos he established – an ethos that still shapes the business today.
For both existing and new customers, fibo Collect introduces a new level of convenience and flexibility, making it easier than ever to access fresh concrete, mortar and screed exactly when it’s needed.
Bringing real benefits to the local community in Tralee
Across North Kerry, utility companies, contractors, landscapers, builders and DIY enthusiasts face the same recurring challenges when working with small volumes of concrete, mortar or screed: time-consuming on-site mixing, minimum 1 m³ orders, small-load charges, long waiting times and delayed deliveries.
The fibo Collect drive-thru system at Boyles of Tralee addresses all of these challenges in one solution.
Customers can now collect as little as 0.25 m³ of concrete, mortar or screed – in 10 minutes or less. This allows them to plan their workdays more precisely, reduce waste and maximise profitability.
What Boyles’ customers have to say
Boyles of Tralee were the first company in Ireland to offer Drive Thru concrete, mortar and screed to their customers.
The customer base at Boyles of Tralee continues to grow steadily, with more users integrating fibo Collect into their daily workflows. As with any new technology, a group of early adopters began using the system from day one – and they continue to return regularly.
Word of mouth has played a key role. As customers experience the benefits first-hand, they share their positive experiences with others, bringing new users to the system and creating a growing local community around fibo Collect.
Local Contractors and Councils have also recently shown significant interest in using the fibo Collect for ongoing, regular supplies of concrete and mortar.
