CUSTOMER EXCELLENCE AWARD FOR MURPHY ENVIRONMENTAL: DROGHEDA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Murphy Environmental took the honours for customer excellence in the service sector at the Drogheda Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards. RTE newscaster Brian Dobson presented the awards to the area's best businesses in eight different categories at the event held in the Boyne Valley Hotel on Saturday, 12th November 2005.

Regarding customers as stakeholders in the business and not just the people who pay the bills is what makes Murphy Environmental a winner, according to General Manager, Patricia Rooney. "This award means such a lot. Our team works hard to deliver the best service, not just to the customer, but to the environment as well", said Patricia.

The company deals with over one million tonnes of construction and demolition waste per year, making it the single biggest service provider on the eastern sea board. Licensed by the EPA, Murphy Environmental is involved in the recovery of construction & demolition waste, through a combination of recovery and recycling, to restoration and landfill.

Patricia was particulary taken with the symbolism involved in the 'Spirit of Drogheda' statuette. "It is made form sand recovered from the Boyne Valley. My mother was born on Trinity Street and our company recovers sand, so what better trophy could you give a business such as ours!"

The customer excellence award is aimed at the business-to-business sector for those who see customer service as an integral part of their company and who benefit from repeat business as a result.
