2022 – SHORTLIST 

This unique scheme, supported by main sponsor Bank of Ireland and carried out in association with Excel Recruitment, is independently judged and seeks out best management practice among those who carry responsibility without ownership in the grocery retail sector.

This year’s gala ceremony, along with gala dinner, will take place 6 July at the Royal Marine Hotel in Dublin.  Awards night will be the place to celebrate the best and brightest grocery retail managers nationwide, as well as the success and contribution of our sector overall.
