Last Friday (11th Nov 2016) at the Ards Business Awards 2016 we were delighted to be awarded the Best Marketing Award and receive Highly Commended in the Best Family Business Award. The judging panel noted that our marketing team continue to use innovative strategies to drive their message and keep a local, family message at the heart of everything they do.
Our entire team were thrilled to receive the awards, with the Head of Marketing, Clare Forster, saying “We’ve all worked extremely hard this year to continue the success of Mash Direct throughout the UK, Ireland and our export markets. So this award means a huge amount to us. We are currently looking forward to the busy Christmas period at Mash Direct, so stay tuned to see what marketing we have in store!”
