Transforming retail through smart self-service solutions – ME Group

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

The 2025 Neighbourhood Retailer Awards are almost upon us and we continue our focus on our fantastic sponsors – this time we shine a light on ME Group, who we are delighted to announce is sponsoring the 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award.

For more than 60 years, ME Group has been making the lives of both retailers and customers easier through cutting-edge self-service technology.

From Wash.ME self-service launderettes (formerly Revolution Laundry) and dog washes to photo-ID booths and printing kiosks, ME Group’s automated services bring new levels of convenience to forecourts, supermarkets, and shopping destinations across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

With over 750 Wash.ME launderettes operating across the island and more than 1,000 in the UK, ME Group continues to set the standard for modern, eco-friendly convenience. Each unit is fully managed, remotely monitored, and designed to generate additional revenue, all without adding any workload for on-site staff.

“At ME Group, our mission is simple: to make everyday life easier,” said Niall McMonagle, Managing Director of ME Group Ireland.

“Retailers today are focused on efficiency, experience, and sustainability. Our self-service solutions deliver on all three, helping partners attract more customers, increase dwell time, and offer something truly valuable in every visit.”

Every ME Group automated service reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, from energy-efficient engineering, solar panels and smart logistics to free eco-friendly detergent included in every wash. It’s a model that supports greener operations while adding measurable value to retail spaces.

As sponsor of the Lifetime Achievement Award, ME Group celebrates the individuals who’ve dedicated their careers to driving excellence across the sector. The same values continue to guide the company’s success.

With a proven track record, strong retail partnerships, and an eye firmly on the future, ME Group Ireland is leading the way in automated services that make life easier, smarter, and more sustainable.
