Gaining publicity from an entrepreneurial television show which was being broadcast at the time, the company quickly expanded and the Cow Comfort brand and quickly became a recognised name in the Irish farming community.

In 1989 Thomas’ brother in law Joseph Egan, a teacher living in Lancashire, imported and sold the first Mayo Original to British farmers. Sales grew rapidly in the early years and the company quickly established itself as a market leader and a name synonymous with quality – a position the company has never lost. Many of the very first mats sold are still in use today.

In 2010 The Mayo Mattress was launched in the UK. This revolutionised the market and has rapidly replaced the Mayo Original as the foremost product for animal comfort with sales exceeding 20,000 per annum.

Mayo Farm Systems, Joe’s Lancashire based company now run by his daughter Niamhanna, under which umbrella Mayo Cow Comfort and Mayo Horse Comfort falls, has grown to carry a wide portfolio of high quality products including the Mayo Automatic Hydraulic Scraper system, Mayo Calf rearing, Mayo Horse Comfort, Mayo Cubicles & Mayo Husbandry equipment.
