A DOWNPATRICK firm has been named Tesco’s outstanding supplier of the month.

Finnebrogue makes the retail giant’s Finest range of butchers’ sausages using only top quality locally-reared pork.

The monthly award is part of the Tesco Taste Northern Ireland campaign to connect local shoppers with the people and places behind the best of the Province’s local food and drink.

Finnebrogue is renowned for its commitment to producing high quality, artisan butchers’ sausages and has been supplying Tesco in Northern Ireland for several years.

Finnebrogue’s managing director, Denis Lynn, said the firm was pleased to be given the recognition by its Tesco partners.

“At Finnebrogue, our entire emphasis is on creating great quality food which we can be truly proud of and we know our Tesco customers will love,” he continued.

“We will only make food that excites and inspires us: we want to be the best and nothing less will do. The outstanding supplier award means a great deal to everyone at Finnebrogue. It’s a team effort here and I’m thrilled Tesco has chosen to recognise our hard work by presenting us with this award.”

Tesco buying manager Sandra Weir said Finnebrogue’s stringent demands for quality farming methods make for a superb end product which Tesco shoppers clearly love. She described the Downpatrick company as a “very deserving winner” of the outstanding supplier award.
