Speaking at the event Supermac’s MD, Pat McDonagh, paid tribute to the Supermac's teams.

“All of our winners have worked very hard to get to a level where they win an award,” Pat McDonagh said. “There are 120 outlets so the competition is strong and to achieve an award-winning year is something all our winners should be proud of” he said. 

46 years ago, Supermac’s 1st opened its door in Ballinasloe and a year later made its first venture outside of County Galway by opening an outlet on O’Connell St in Ennis. 

The group currently employs over 4,000 people throughout the country.
