And Henderson Wholesale’s 12 deals of Christmas campaign won Best In-Store Consumer Sales Promotion (sponsored by Aqua Twist) with highly commended awarded to Musgrave NI for its Supervalu – Value to sing about campaign.

Winning this year’s prestigious Young Marketeer Award, sponsored by Forest Feast in memory of Lorraine Hall, was MXB’s Ella Thackray with highly commended going to Henderson Wholesale’s Jonny Agnew.

The first recipient of a new award for 2020, Leader in Marketing sponsored by MXB, went to Desi Derby of Musgrave NI, kick-starting a strong performance for the group. It also picked up Best CSR Initiative/Charity Partnership for its partnership with Action Cancer with highly commended going to Boost Drinks/Air Ambulance NI and the category sponsored by Hunky Dorys.

Another double award winner, meanwhile, was Finnebrogue Artisan for Best Sustainability Initiative (sponsored by Electric Ireland) with highly commended awarded to Henderson Technology/Gander.
