Three Mayo stores receive MACE Excellence Awards
Pictured at the recent MACE Excellence Awards were Lorraine Reape, Padraic Delaney and Conor Hamburg, Delaney's MACE Castlebar and Delaney’s MACE Charlestown.
Three Mayo-based MACE stores were recognised at the recent MACE Excellence Awards for achieving exceptional standards in retailing. The event was held at Lawlor’s Hotel in Naas, 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), were presented only to MACE stores that successfully completed an intensive, year-long inspection programme. This included two unannounced audits - an SMA audit and a BWG Foods safety audit conducted in conjunction with globally recognised assurance partner LRQA.
The Mayo stores that received a MACE Excellence Award were Fallon's MACE in Ballinrobe; Delaney's MACE in Castlebar and Delaney's MACE in Charlestown.
Congratulating the award recipients, Keith Crawford, MACE Sales Director, said: “As Ireland’s longest-serving convenience symbol brand, MACE retailers have a strong and enduring commitment to outstanding retail standards and customer service. The recipients of this year’s MACE Excellence Awards continue to set the highest retail standards for the brand and the wider market, particularly against a backdrop of uncertainty and increasing business costs. Congratulations to Dermot Fallon and Padraic Delaney and their teams for the vital role they play in their local communities.
Operated by independent retailers, MACE’s nationwide network includes local community stores, forecourt shopping locations and urban stores, with more than 160 MACE stores across Ireland.
