The CBA wishes has congratualted The Chicken Inn on winning the CBA;s first quarter Cork Business of the Year Awards.
The presentation took place today in the English Market.
The Chicken Inn is one of the longest, largest established businesses in the English Market and has been synonymous with quality and value for over 60 years. Its success comes down to the hard work of the Mulcahy family. Part of the success of the company, famous for its poultry products sold over the counter and delivering to local restaurants and hotels, is due to the dedication of the twenty and more staff and the foresight and commitment of the Mulcahy family.
Mary Lane Mulcahy was a co founder with her father John Lane. Mary started work in the market for £4 a week and still works daily which makes her the longest serving member of staff in the English market.
