I was waiting for the general excitement to die down and celebrations to subside before I mentioned Retail Excellence Awards. I'm sure you have all already heard the news that Applegreen Mount Merrion scooped not one, not two, but three of the coveted awards at the prizewinning ceremony last Saturday night.
Well I don't have to tell you that it was with great pride and joy that Applegreen director Joe Barrett accepted the awards and he was quick to point out that it was the result of an immense team effort from right across the company.  After winning the NACS award the Applegreen team have worked round the clock, not just to maintain, but to improve store offers and customer service. This has paid off across all Applegreen forecourts.
Hats off and congratulations to Keith Ennis and his team in Mount Merrion for going to the next level and beating off some very tough (and much bigger) opposition to take the overall Store of the Year award.
In the end it will be the Applegreen customer who will benefit from these awards. No doubt these successes spur on all Applegreen / Petrogas people across the board to outdo themselves and reach new heights in customer service and store management. It also has the same effect on all the head office support units, busy innovating and providing daily support to the management and site staff. All in all, it smells like team spirit to me and in the end the customer wins.

As with all industry and awards events it was a glamorous occasion. The Applegreen blog "Couple of the Night" award goes to Aedin and Matthew Scally.  Aedin is part of the Applegreen Trading team and Mathew runs the Applegreen MSA  at Enfield West.
