It provides tremendous encouragement for my staff and me. Like Maxol we are a family run business at Maxol Sandyford and to have the opportunity to show case our retail forecourt convenience offering is very humbling. When we opened Sandyford in December last year, I never dreamed that we would make the finalist for theInsight NACS Awards, but here we are, now recognized on the world's convenience retailing stage. My staff are over the moon and we are now even more motivated to improve upon the high standards that our customers have come to expect at Maxol Sandyford. Our commitment to Maxol is even stronger and I look forward along with my family to building our business relationship with them well into the future".
