Two County Donegal based Mace stores were honoured at the recent MACE Excellence Awards for achieving exceptional standards in retailing, which was held in Lawlor’s Hotel, in Naas in Co Kildare, and hosted by BWG Foods, owners and operators of the MACE brand in Ireland.
This year’s Mace Excellence Awards, held in association with Solution Management Associates (SMA) are only awarded to MACE stores that pass an intensive year-long inspection, including two unannounced audits in addition to an SMA Audit, as well as a BWG Foods Safety audit in conjunction with the globally recognised Assurance Partner, LRQA.
The Co. Donegal stores who received a MACE Excellence Award are: Gavin O’Donnell, O’Donnell’s Mace Crolly, and Ciaran and Brian Brogan, Brogan’s Mace Dry Arch, Letterkenny.
Mr Brogan’s Mace Dry Arch was also presented with the Mace ‘ All I Need Store Of the Year’ on the night.
Congratulating the winners, Keith Crawford, MACE Sales Director, said: “As Ireland’s longest serving convenience symbol brand, MACE retailers have a well-established commitment to outstanding retail standards and customer service. The recipients of this year’s MACE Excellence Awards continue to set the benchmark for the brand and marketplace overall. Congratulations to Gavin, Ciaran and Brian and their teams for all they do in their local communities.”
