THE Premier Number One shop has scooped a top award at The National Ignite Awards in London earlier this month.

Lynn Sullivan, manager of the Shillinghill store, attended the glitzy bash and picked up the prize for Best Staff Training of the Year 2016 in the regional heat, as a well as being nominated as a finalist.

Lynn, who has been the store manager for over 20 years, said: "We are just over the moon. All the staff at Premier Number One put so much effort into their jobs and it's great to see all our hard work be recognised by the industry.

"It certainly makes all those 5am starts and 10pm finishes worth it."

The night was hosted Dominic Holland who entertained the delegates, while over 350 attendees competed for a number of awards.

A Premier Number One spokesperson added that the shop is "proud to serve the Wee County" and thanks its customers for all the support over the years.
