A local hardware store has become number one in the state, in not one but two categories at the Independent Hardware Group awards night.
This year Mitre 10 Northam has won the 2017 State Store of the Year for WA, and also took out the prize for 2017 Innovated Local Area Marketing.
Northam Mitre 10 store manager Shayne Lucy said they were pleased with the recognition.
“The entire staff have worked so hard to get the store to where it is today,” he said.
“We will be looking forward to the National awards next year where we will be representing the state.”
The awards were presented to Shayne Lucy by Independent Hardware Group state manager, Hayley Quick and chief executive officer Mark laidlaw, at the awards night last month.
Both Ms Quick and Mr laidlaw congratulated the team and said the new look and feel of the store was a credit to the Northam Mitre 10 owners and staff.
