The team at Medina seem to have the
right recipe when it comes to producing
great customer service. The strong team
of over 45 employees not only deal with
butchery products, but also fruit and
vegetables, ambient, frozen/dairy foods,
packaging and cleaning.
The whole team believes in promoting
Island products and keeping business
local since they all work and live on the
Island. The business is led by General
Manager Cory Williams. He oversees
the smooth running of all day to day
operations, transport in particular. It
takes his exceptionally good liaison
skills to ensure that in peak season 21
vans get distributed Islandwide, six days
per week. Cory is assisted by Darrell
Bolton. He joined as a driver/storeman
in 2008 and is now Trainee Operations
Manager.
Medina prides itself on its dedication
to its customers. Its sales team is
headed by Carole Reed, who brings
experience from hotel and travel
management roles, and her own
outside catering company in Belfast.
