This year sees the 13th anniversary of the awards, and the eighth year of sponsorship by leading Irish insurance company FBD. Pictured at the launch is Paul Candon, Chairman, Retail Excellence Ireland, Adrian Taheny, FBD Insurance and Brendan O’Brien of O’Briens Wines Beer and Spirits who scooped the top prize of National Retail Store of the Year 2007.
The FBD Retail Excellence Ireland Awards encourage excellence in retailing and promote the competitiveness and skills base of independent retailers. The Awards recognise and certify the position of the retailer, resulting in an increased number of customers visiting the winning stores. Irish retailers continue to perform successfully in the face of increasing numbers of entrants to the market, intense competition, changing legislation and rapidly changing consumer demands. Entry forms are available from your local FBD Office.
