Festive Success

The festive spirit was in full swing across our branches on the run up to Christmas

Our branches came alive this Christmas with events that truly showcased the power of teamwork and community spirit. From wreath-making workshops to joyful carol sessions, every detail reflected our commitment to creating memorable experiences for customers.

Our incredible Castlecomer team pulling together to make the event a success and assisted by the neighbouring Ballyhale branch team - true collaboration in action!

Collaboration Across Departments

This success was a result of incredible cross-team efforts. Marketing, Retail and Horticulture teams worked hand-in-hand to deliver events that exceeded expectations. “It was amazing to see everyone pull together – every department played a part,” said Peter O Donovan, Category Purchasing Manager.

A Note from Our Horticulturists

Our in-store horticulture team couldn’t agree more on the value of these events: “Customers absolutely love these experiences – they bring people together and create a real sense of community,” said the team collectively.

They added: “It’s not just about plants; it’s about connection. We see a great uplift in engagement and loyalty long-term and that’s what makes these events so special.”

Looking Ahead

This festive success sets the scene for an incredible series of events next year. Keep an eye out in your local store – we love to have our wider Tirlan Family join our in-store events.
