Numerous Mace stores in Kildare receive awards to honour their continued excellence

Three Mace stores in Kildare received awards for a continued excellence of five years at a recent ceremony in the Lyrath Hotel, Kilkenny, while one other received an Excellence Award for their standard of service to their customers.

Brennan’s MACE Ballymany, Lyon’s MACE Kildare Town and Sherry’s Maxol MACE Maynooth were among a group of retailers from around the country who were awarded an Excellence Award for five consecutive years.

Other Kildare MACE stores to take home an Excellence Award were McMullen’s Maxol MACE The Crossings, Naas.

Congratulating the winners, Alex Banahan, MACE Sales Director said: “All of this year’s winning retailers have worked tirelessly to achieve the high standards that these awards demand and celebrate. They showcase the quality of MACE stores across Ireland and continuously raise the bar for industry as a whole. Retailers who achieve the MACE Excellence Award must comply with a strict set of criteria, which involves stores being rigorously monitored throughout the year in areas such as shop presentation, food safety and legal compliance.Their efforts have been truly outstanding and their recognition is very well-deserved.”

The MACE Excellence Awards are now in their 14th year. The EIQA (Excellence Ireland Quality Association) are involved in the auditing process for MACE stores. The association has been at the forefront of the quality crusade in Irish retail for more than 45 years helping to drive the highest standards.
