Mystery Shopper winners
Friday 18 April 2008
Over the past few weeks Allen & Page have been holding a Mystery Shopper competition to find the best stockists in Britain. Mystery shoppers have been calling and visiting retailers across the UK and are very happy to announce the first winners of the weekly £250 cash prize.
All of the winning stores have displayed excellent product knowledge, stock availability and nutritional advice. The members of staff involved have all been friendly, helpful, extremely knowledgeable and nothing has been too much trouble. Allen & Page would like to congratulate all of the winners so far and give recognition to the excellent levels of service that they provide.
There are still plenty more prizes to be won before the campaign finishes on April 30th 2008, and the Allen & Page Mystery Shoppers will be visiting and calling all Allen & Page stockists across the UK before the campaign ends.
 Week one winners - McCash’s Country Store, Perth.
McCash’s Country Store has been serving the needs of Perthshire since 1746. Originally, the Company was based at Loak Water Mill near Bankfoot, but moved into Perth to its present location many years ago. The stone granary was built next to the new railway yard when it was constructed in the 1880’s. This gave McCash’s a site not only linked to the rest of the country by rail, but also very close to the two cattle markets that serviced Perthshire and beyond. Today the refurbished granary can boast a large car park. McCash's Country Store is an associate member of Scottish Quality Assured Scheme.
 Week two winners - Dyfnog Stud, Denbighshire.
Dyfnog Stud was established in 1972 by Gordon-Gough Roberts to provide animal feed and equipment, and facilities for horse related activities. Since then the business has consistently expanded and Gordon has been joined by his daughter Jane. Gordon in now primarily involved in the retail element which provides horse and dog food, outdoor clothing, equine supplies and shooting equipment. Jayne manages the stable enterprise which offers livery and schooling facilities and arranges regular jumping competitions, and other equestrian activities at the stud. The whole enterprise is run in a friendly and informal way, with helpful and experienced staff.
 Week three winners - Foxcotte Equestrian Services, Andover.
Foxcotte Equestrian Services is owned and run by Linda Marriot, and was opened only 18 months ago in October 2006. Operating as a small family run, tack and feed store, the business occupies what was formerly a farm barn, which has been completely renovated, just outside Andover. Offering services such as rug cleaning, on top of a good range of equestrian products, Linda and her family are kept busy between running the store and going out to compete in a range of varying disciplines.
 Week four winners - Granville Saddlery, Norfolk.
Granville Saddlery is a small, family run business, which has recently moved to new premises just off the A11 in Wymondham, Norfolk.
