Two County Tipperary 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 Tipperary stores who received a MACE Excellence Award are:

• Walter and Monica Drohan, Drohan’s MACE Loughnafulla

• Mairead and Noel Ryan, Ryan’s MACE Moneydass

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 Walter and Monica Drohan and Mairead and Noel Ryan and their teams for all they do in their local communities.”

Operated by independent retailers, MACE’s nationwide network includes local community stores as well as forecourt shopping and urban stores, with more than 155 MACE stores located throughout Ireland.
