Maura says “Quite often our awards go to newly renovated premises which greatly improve what were often empty or neglected spaces within the city centre, but we were delighted this month to present an award to a long-standing and highly respected name in Limerick retail circles for its consistently beautifully kept façade, striking exterior paintwork and traditional signage, especially given its very prominent location at the corner of Sarsfield Street and Henry Street.  This month’s award winner was also suggested to us by a member of the public and a visitor to the city, who commented on how well it has always looked during their many years of visiting Limerick, which is a great testament to the owners.”

Billy Higgins Clothing was first established in 1956 and is now one of Limerick city’s most recognisable landmark retail outlets for menswear and womenswear.  Over the past 60 years, they have exported clothing such as Cashmere and Donegal Handwoven Tweed to more than 60 countries worldwide.  With regular clients from North America, Hawaii, Australia and Russia, they have continued to grow through often turbulent economic times due to their reputation for high-quality clothing, attention to detail and a loyal customer base.  They offer a full made to measure tailoring service and dedicated knowledgeable staff renowned for their personal customer service.  As well as their main shop in Sarsfield Street, Billy Higgins Clothing now also have a branch at Dromoland Castle.
