Ulster Tatler awards praise for successful Dromore trio
Congratulations have been extended to three Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon (ABC) businesses and entrepreneurs who won prestigious awards at this year’s Ulster Tatler Awards.
Chair of the council’s Economic Development & Regeneration Committee, Councillor Kyle Savage, had warm words of praise at the September meeting.
The UUP councillor commented: “I’d just like to take this opportunity to congratulate three local businesses who were successful in winning awards in the Ulster Tatler Awards last week.
“Melanie Bond, who won Fashion Boutique of the Year, Calm Coffee house, winning Coffee House of the Year, and Lesley Price from Bridge Books, winning Businesswoman of the Year.
“It’s extremely pleasing for me as they’re all three local Dromore businesses, and I wish them well and congratulate them on their success over this last week.”
Fellow Lagan River DEA representative, Councillor Tim McClelland (DUP) concurred, remarking: “It’s just to very briefly concur with what you have said in terms of the three award winners from our own Lagan River DEA.
“It was good over the weekend to be able to call with them personally and congratulate them on their success.
“They are three very innovative businesses, and we certainly hope and trust that they do very well in the future.
“I suppose the final thing I would add is that I think Melanie leaves for New York and the southern United States either tomorrow morning or on Wednesday morning for what promises to be a very successful trip. So, we especially wish her well with that.”
