PHX Ireland Recognition Awards celebrate teammate dedication, collaboration, and commitment to delivering health
The PHX Ireland annual ‘Recognising People’ Awards recently took place in Dublin’s Mansion House. The awards celebrated the positive impact, dedication, and unwavering commitment to the PHX Ireland mission of delivering health and showcased those who make a difference every day.
Across all PHX Ireland businesses, the way we work makes us who we are. The awards are built to reflect our shared values, which were launched this year of customer focused, quality driven, collaborative, ambitious, innovative, and inclusive. They reflect the vibrancy, and energy of the team working together to deliver the company’s mission to deliver health, support our customers, while making a difference to patients, communities, and each other.
Overall, there were 465 nominations made from across all businesses: PHX Ireland, TCP Homecare, LloydsPharmacy Ireland and United Drug, with sixty-five worthy finalists selected.
Almost three hundred people attended the awards night which kicked off in style with guests greeted by whopping entertainment! After a welcome cocktail, guests were seated for a three-course meal and the awards presentation, hosted by Darren Kennedy. Darren was joined on stage by CEO Paul Reilly who shared a few words of acknowledgement, commending all teammates on their hard work and dedication. The country board participated in recognising each finalist within their respective categories and congratulated each of the winners. Other entertainment included Keith Barry and the fantastic Smash Hits band!
A new award was presented on the night to recognise the fantastic work of the McCabe’s teammates, following the acquisition earlier this year. The ‘McCabe’s Way’ award sets to honour the achievements of teams and individuals who go above and beyond to serve and support patients of McCabe’s Pharmacy each and every day.
We had the pleasure to welcome Dr. Christina Froboese, Director of Strategic Initiatives from PHOENIX Group to introduce and present, for the first time, the ‘We Deliver Health’ Award, established in recognition of our common values. This award acknowledges a team or individual who exemplifies our mission statement through their actions.
