Reacting to the news of her company’s achievement, Quayside Shopping Centre Manager & Head of Marketing, Christine Dolan said:
‘On behalf of everyone working at Quayside Shopping Centre in Sligo, I would like to express our sincere gratitude and delight at being named as All-Ireland All-Star Shopping Centre of the Year for 2023/2024 including receiving Business All-Star accreditation for the fifth consecutive year. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that our centre has once again achieved such a prestigious title. This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to the dedication and tireless efforts of our exceptional team of retailers and staff who work here. We couldn’t be prouder of their commitment to upholding the rigorous standards set by the All-Ireland Business Foundation.
As an integral part of the vibrant community in Sligo, we take our role seriously and are committed to going the extra mile for our customers. While this accolade recognises our efforts, we want to emphasise that much of the work happens behind the scenes.
We are dedicated to continually improving the centre’s services and facilities, ensuring that each visit to Quayside is a remarkable experience. This recognition further inspires us to continue providing a top-tier shopping experience for our valued customers.’
Managing Director of the All-Ireland Business Foundation Kapil Khanna said: The accreditation, which is now held by over 650 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards but have nothing to measure them by.
He said: We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics.
