To be able to celebrate these wonderful ambassadors who bring the SPAR brand to life every day is a great source of pride for us. I congratulate all the SPAR winners from Offaly. Their efforts have been truly outstanding, and this recognition is very well-deserved.”
This year’s SPAR 365 Awards, held in association with independent bodies Solution Management Associates (SMA) and Lloyds Register Quality Assurance LRQA, recognise those SPAR stores who have excelled during the year across all areas of store. In winning these awards, the SPAR stores were independently assessed across a range of criteria including customer service through SMA as well as a robust Food Safety and Hygiene audit conducted by LRQA.
