Geddis Fireplaces, based at Lissue Industrial Estate on the Moira Road, has taken home the prestigious ‘Retailer of The Year’ Award at the 2009 Northern Ireland Natural Gas Industry Awards, held last week at the La Mon hotel in Belfast. The awards recognise and reward individuals and companies who have made a real contribution to the growth of the local natural gas industry.

Geddis Fireplaces has continued to grow year on year and offers a top class range of gas fires in their new custom-built showroom on the outskirts of Lisburn. They have been an established leading figure in the Northern Ireland fireplace market for over thirty years and over this time have maintained a reputation for excellence both in terms of products and customer service.

Congratulating Alexander McLuckie of Geddis Fireplaces, Peter Dixon, Group Chief Executive of Phoenix Natural Gas, said:

“The local independent industry is continuing to grow from strength to strength and there are now over 125,000 consumers using natural gas here in Northern Ireland. This year’s winning companies are a clear example of the local businesses in action that are underpinning this remarkable growth”.
