THE STAFF at Valpys on Grande Rue, St Martin’s, have been recognised for their ‘kind and friendly’ service for this year’s Customer Service award, sponsored by Alexander Daniels.

The family-owned and run electrical and hardware store has been helping islanders in Guernsey for the past 120 years.

On top of its in-store service, it was praised for its support for the Guernsey Down Syndrome Group, of which nominator Helen O’Hara is a member.

She said, ‘Nothing is too much trouble for them, sometimes I just pop in with my children to say hello.’

Valpys has always tried to maintain its ‘village store’ friendly and helpful service while stocking thousands of items for the garden and home. 

‘They are all such lovely people.’
