Local Tipperary retailer wins Food Safety & Quality Award at national forum

A Templemore retailer was awarded a national award at a special presentation to recognise their food safety success.

Staff from Eurospar Templemore joined retailing colleagues from all over Ireland recently to receive their Food Safety & Quality Awards at the Eurospar Supermarkets Retailer Forum, hosted in Lawlor’s Hotel in Naas, Co. Kildare.

The awards were assessed by the LRQA, who are a leading independent provider of accredited certification services across a broad spectrum of retailing standards, specialising in food safety.

Eurospar Templemore staff member Kryzstof Obertowski accepted the award from Sales Director Peter Dwan.

Congratulating Eurospar retailers on the night, Dwan said the Templemore staff “have once again delivered on their objectives to provide the best retailing experience they can for their customers".

"Achieving LRQA recognition is indicative of the commitment and ambition demonstrated by EUROSPAR Templemore and all EUROSPAR retailers to keep providing the highest level of service to their customers. Their focus on continually exceeding customer expectations is a testament to the hard work of their staff, for which they should be very proud.”

In achieving these awards, EUROSPAR Supermarkets were independently assessed across a range of food safety criteria, demonstrating a commitment to upholding the highest food safety & quality standards across all departments in their stores.

The Eurospar Store Standards and Hygiene Awards have been running for more than 20 years, and recognises supermarkets that excel across all areas of food safety.
