CEO Colin Hughes, from Lurgan, Co Armagh, said: "We are very proud to sponsor this year’s 999 Hero award and would urge everyone in Northern Ireland to show their support for our amazing emergency services by nominating anyone they feel has gone that extra mile in carrying out their already vital work.

"While there can only be one winner of this very special award, we at Four Star Pizza see it as a salute to all those individuals and teams who, on a daily basis, selflessly serve our communities and show such bravery in the face of adversity to help save lives.

"As a company deeply rooted in local communities, with franchises in towns across the island of Ireland, we offer our heartfelt gratitude, on behalf of all our customers and staff, for our emergency services’ extraordinary acts of courage and sacrifice, and we are honoured to help celebrate their resilience and unwavering dedication.

"They are the true embodiment of heroism and, as an honest company always striving to be better, their stories serve as beacons of hope and inspiration for us all."

Last year’s 999 Hero award was won by all-volunteer charity K9 Search and Rescue NI for the bravery shown by its handlers and rescue dogs in providing certified area search and victim recovery canines for coastal, urban, rural and disaster response.
