Anglo Printers - Winner SME 11+
In late November we were delighted to be awarded Best SME with 11 or more employees at the Northeast Business Excellence Awards. This award was a recognition of the resilience of all the staff here at Anglo Printers
considering the Arson attack in late 2022, which damaged our east wing offices to such a degree that the entire restructure had to be torn down and rebuilt.This disruption did not stop us from continuing our expected level of excellence and service to our customers in 2023, and we would like to thank them for their loyalty during this time. The awards night was a wonderful occasion hosted by the Drogheda Chamber of Commerce and we would like to extend our congratulations to all the brilliant businesses who were nominated, and to all the winners. We look forward to defending our title in 2024!
