Alpha Retail's development work at Birmingham International Airport and Dublin International Airport has been recognised at the recent Airport Operators Association (AOA) Awards 2007, where it received the Best Retailer award.

 

"We are delighted to receive this award from the AOA and the endorsement of the Awards logo will be fully utilised within our business," commented Alpha Retail Managing Director Reg Curtis. "We are committed to providing a world-leading airport shopping offer that provides customers with excellent choice, quality and service. This is part of our long-term strategy, with many more new concepts and developments planned for next year."

 

Alpha Retail'S AOA Awards submission was for its new duty free store at Birmingham International Airport, designed to significantly increase customer choice and service. The introduction of a new concept restaurant, The Eating Place, at Dublin International Airport also formed part of Alpha's entry.

 

AOA Deputy Chairman Neil Pakey added: The response to our new Awards scheme was very impressive and the competition was strong. Alpha Retail'S submission was a clear winner. The new duty free store at Birmingham International Airport is a reflection of Alpha's ongoing dedication to meeting the needs of the travelling consumer as well as enriching the shopping experience at airports."
