The shortlist for Ireland’s premier scheme for recognising and honouring management excellence – the ShelfLife Grocery Management Awards – is here.

This unique scheme, supported by main sponsor Bank of Ireland and carried out in association with Excel Recruitment, is independently judged and seeks out best management practice among those who carry responsibility without ownership in the grocery retail sector.

This year’s gala ceremony, along with gala dinner, will take place 27 October in the Royal Marine Hotel in Dublin. A high point in the retail calendar every year, the gala ceremony will be an opportunity to celebrate the hard-working retail managers who have shown tremendous dedication to their customers and colleagues during the outbreak of Covid-19.
