Horkan’s were presented with their finalist award by Martin Kelleher, SuperValu Managing Director, Michael Morgan, SuperValu Sales Director and Eoin MacManus, Director of Three Business, the competition sponsors.
SuperValu stores throughout the country were assessed and adjudicated by independent competition judge, Paul Ellison.
