PETER Mark, Ireland’s leading hairdressing group, has honoured 24 employees at a special awards ceremony in Athlone for their long-standing service and contribution to the company.

Among those honoured was Martina McManamon from Peter Mark, Castlebar.

The Peter Mark Long Service Awards took place at the Sheraton Hotel and recognised employees in Athlone, Galway, Castlebar, Sligo, Navan and Mullingar who have worked at Peter Mark for 10 years or more. Further regional ceremonies are planned throughout the year and by the end of 2017, Peter Mark will have celebrated 496 employees who have been in the business for a decade or more.

Of the 24 honoured, the average length of service was 14 years but many were celebrating several years more.

Commented CEO Peter O’Rourke: “As a business built on people, we are delighted to celebrate our loyal employees and recognise those who have been with us for over a decade to those who have been with our business for 25 years or more.

We have a wealth of talent and experience within our company who are now training the next generation of professional hair stylists coming through our doors.”
