Flogas presents Lifetime Achievement Award at Drogheda Business Excellence Awards for 2018

Flogas was the premier sponsor of the Drogheda Business Excellence Awards for 2018 held on Saturday 24th November at the CityNorth Hotel in Gormanston.

John Rooney, managing director, Flogas Ireland, presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Harry McArdle, founder and chairman of Height for Hire, a family owned company that has become the largest privately-owned mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) rental company in the UK and Ireland. Today, Height for Hire has over 2,000 machines in its fleet and 36 depots across Ireland, the UK, Hungary and Slovakia.

Organized by the Drogheda & District Chamber, the evening was the social highlight of the year for the business community in the Greater Drogheda region. A packed audience of over three hundred local business people and dignitaries were present to hear the winners announced in fourteen different categories, with Awards going to new and well-established businesses alike.

John Rooney said, “It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and we’re very proud to support the Awards and my congratulations to the Drogheda Chamber for the fantastic effort they have put into making it such a success.”
