Grocery magazine Checkout has named the winners in its ‘Best in Fresh’ awards, which cover a total of 19 categories among retailers and recognise the best retail suppliers, retail chains and individual stores that excel at fresh food retailing.

Among this year’s winners are Fresh The Good Food Market on Camden Street in Dublin, Tesco Ireland (Best Fresh Food Retail Chain), while the Lifetime Achievement award went to Peter Caviston (pictured) of Caviston’s Food Emporium in Monkstown, Co. Dublin.

Checkout editor Maev Martin said: “Once again, both our winners and finalists have raised the bar when it comes to fresh produce, and have proven that they are among the best in Ireland, as well as in Europe.”

The magazine also presented six awards to suppliers, with BWG National Distribution Centre, Astron Engineering, and Aryzta Food Solutions among the winners.
