Trolan's SuperValu Ballymoney has been awarded the Investors in People award, the second time the store has achieved the award.

Developed in 1990 by a partnership of leading businesses, the Standard helps organisations across the UK to improve performance and realise objectives through the management and development of their people.

Patsy Trolan, owner, SuperValu Ballymoney said: "We realise when we as a business invest in the development of our people, everybody wins. In the three years between inspections we have maintained our standards and systems and the ongoing development of our staff provides them with many opportunities to further their potential. The fact our employees find SuperValu Ballymoney a great place to work is reflected within the store through a low level of staff turnover, high levels of customer service and operational standards which exceed the industry norm."

"Not only does this achievement give our store a competitive edge through improved performance but, our customers will receive an even better service, proving that we put the customers first"
