Commenting on Millie from Mullingar Service Station’s excellent success at the awards, Des Duffy, Maxol’s Retail Manager, said:
“Congratulations to Millie Walsh and his team for winning Top Forecourt Standards Retailer for a Company Owned Site. This is a really great achievement and one of which they can all be extremely proud. The award scheme was originally developed in 1992 to ensure that customers can expect the best from Maxol, including quality retailing and premium customer care and that the best levels of service and amenities are maintained on Maxol forecourts. This award along with his other two wins acknowledges Millie’s commitment to achieving this goal.”
