Roscrea employee is a Lidl Legend

Top employer Lidl Ireland has announced the winners of its annual National Achievement Awards, which acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of Lidl team members across its stores, distribution centres and offices across the island of Ireland.

Tipperary-based Sandra Hogan, who works in Lidl’s Roscrea store, was selected from over 6,000 employees across the island of Ireland to take home the coveted top award - Lidl Legend.

The ‘Lidl Legend’ award is reserved for one colleague who lives and breathes Lidl’s company values. On the night, Sandra was acknowledged for over two decades of service at Lidl and for being the cornerstone of the Tipperary store. She was recognised for her humble nature and dedication to community engagement, which has made a positive impact on the local area.

Over the years, Sandra has achieved phenomenal success in supporting Lidl’s charity partnerships alongside building and nurturing relationships with local organisations and charities. From organising impactful fundraisers and appeals for food, clothing and book donations, Sandra is always giving her time selflessly and never seeking recognition. Her dedication, kindness and community spirit embody the very essence of what it means to be a Lidl Legend.

Lidl Ireland’s annual National Achievement Awards provide an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the remarkable efforts of colleagues and teams across all areas of the business. The awards spotlight exceptional colleagues who have stood out throughout the year and inspired others through their outstanding leadership, actions, dedication, and passion.

Lidl Ireland currently employs more than 6,000 employees in its 184 stores, Head Office in Tallaght and Regional Distribution Centres at Charleville, Newbridge and Mullingar. Earlier this year, Lidl Ireland was named a ‘Top Employer’ by the Top Employers Institute for the fifth year running.
