Strabane colleagues celebrate 55 years in the aisles!

TWO colleagues at Asda Strabane are celebrating a collective 55 years of service with the retailer.

Martina Wilson has clocked up 30 years’ service while Shauna Kelly reached her 25-year milestone.

In total, 20 Asda colleagues across Northern Ireland have received ‘Big Anniversary’ recognition for service up to 2023.

When combined, this equates to a huge 590 years worked by colleagues, section leaders and managers from Asda’s 8 NI stores.

Congratulating the award recipients, Niall Keyes, senior director for Asda Northern Ireland, said: "Our colleagues really are the heartbeat of our stores. I was absolutely honoured to celebrate with colleagues of a combined nearly 600 years’ service in the room.

“The Big Asda Celebration event was a great opportunity to recognise some of our longest serving colleagues and I am so proud of them.

"I look forward to catching up with them all in store again soon.”

Asda Strabane colleague, Martina Wilson added: "Along with the rest of our team, I was delighted to attend the Big Anniversary celebration event.

"It was a wonderful opportunity to have some fun, congratulate each other, and reflect on all of the great memories we’ve shared over the years with Asda.”
