Gala Retail strikes new sponsorship deal with Starcamp

Gala Retail has announced a three-year extension to its title sponsorship with Ireland’s number-one network of children’s activity camps, Starcamp

Starcamp is known nationwide for its award-winning summer camps, which take place in more than 250 locations across Ireland each year, and this year, for the first time, Starcamp has added over 20 ‘Starcamp with Gala Retail Easter Camps’ to its schedule

As part of its annual, six-figure sponsorship agreement with Starcamp, Gala is providing over €10,000 worth of prizes for participating children and their schools each year and gifting every young person a co-branded bag and certificate of achievement. Now in its third year of partnership with Starcamp, Gala Retail confirmed its support will continue until at least 2025.

“Gala is delighted to announce our continued sponsorship of ‘Starcamp with Gala Retail’, supporting the delivery of the exceptional Starcamp children’s camps that take place across Ireland,” said Gary Desmond, chief executive of Gala Retail.

Dairyglen has been named the official winner of the Food & Drink category 2023 with its exclusive ice cream brand Smooch, at the SFA National Small Business Awards.

Nominated in both the Food & Drink and Services categories for achievement, innovation and excellence, Dairyglen celebrated its recent win at the RDS. A total of 36 finalists were shortlisted from hundreds of applicants across a number of categories, with a strict judging criteria applied to each one

Dairyglen currently employs over 32 people across its Bray and Cork offices; providing fully managed solutions for the ice cream, milkshake and frozen beverage industry Rooted in smart Bluetooth technology that allows the company to access, monitor and control all its machines remotely – this system has established Dairyglen’s Smooch brand as the number one solution for ice cream and milkshakes across the country

“As a business with over 30 years’ experience, we’ve always found it interesting to observe how little people truly know about the art of the ice cream business,” said Dairyglen owner Philip Delaney. “As is evident in the market, most ice cream brands seem to require very little thought. But why is it that so few brands last the test of time? Great brands are hard to build, and even harder to sustain for any course of time

“We’re thrilled for Smooch to win the best Food & Drink Award this year and want to thank all the fantastic Irish retailers who have supported us, and continue to support us today,” Delaney added.

“The strength of Starcamp is in the confidence that it gives young people, and with a strong presence across towns and cities across the country, there’s a real synergy with our 220 Gala Group stores, who are at the heart of communities across the country,” Desmond continued.

‘Starcamp with Gala Retail’ Camps will take place at over 250 locations, hosting almost 30,000 children. Easter Camps were held from 3 – 6 April and 11 – 14 April, with summer camps running weekly from 3 July – 19 August.
