Awards bitter sweet for Millie

Millie Walsh"s garage has won three top prizes at this year"s Maxol awards, including "Top Forecourt Standards Retailer for a Company Owned Site", "Staff Team Awards for a Company Owned Site" and was also in a seven-way tie for first place in the "Top Toilet" category.But Millie is more concerned about the future of his business and of the Irish economy than Maxol"s prize giving.'They are great of course,' he said. 'Anything that will bring business through that door is grand but times are tough, there"s no point in saying otherwise is there?'The ordinary people who come through those doors are sick of it, they"ve had enough of paying for everything and there is a terrible gloom about the place in general.'Thank God I have 15 staff and haven"t let one go but the future is uncertain that"s for sure. The amount of tax that we have to pay and what we get back for it is not on, it"s totally unfair.'Maxol are and have been 100 per cent and are fantastic to work with. Hopefully we can keep people coming through those doors.'
