Topaz has been crowned Irish Retail Company of the Year.

The award was presented to Topaz at the Retail Excellence Ireland Awards, which were held in Galway recently. The company beat off stiff competition from the likes of O2, Debenhams, Vodafone, the Dixon Group, Musgraves & BWG.
 
The company topped a fine weekend in Galway by also winning the prestigious Best Employer Award. Other nominations in this category included Unicare and McDonalds.
 
Paul Candon, Marketing and Corporate Services Director, said “…This means a huge amount to Topaz, as we have only been around for a couple of years. Yet this shows how far we have come in this short time. It was also very pleasing to note the judging panel was looking for evidence of a business strategy that demonstrably contributes to the Irish economy, and that has always been a priority for us” he said.
 
“We are also thrilled to have won the ‘Best Employer’ award. This is especially significant as we would not have won this award without the full support of our employees. We value our employees so highly and we are extremely grateful for their commitment, energy and dedication every day” Candon concluded.
 
The awards, now in their 14th year, reward excellence in practice in the world of retail.
