The store team at Trim, County Meath-based Cult:Zero have been celebrating gaining their HFI Diploma 1.

Gintare Luineviciene, Amy Douglas and Aoife Finnegan worked through the modules together and, with plenty of help and encouragement along the way, all reached the level of distinction for their achievements in a time-managed format. The Health Food Institute congratulated them for “a real team effort”. 

To mark the occasion, Karen McDonnell from The Natural Medicine Company called in to present hampers to all three successful candidates.

Cult:Zero describes itself as an “organic emporium” built on a “vision of conscious community and ethical consumerism”. The business began life as a stall at a local farmers’ market, and then “nurtured by the very special communities there” put down permanent roots on Emmet Street in Trim in 2019, from where it has gone from strength to strength. The store stocks a wide range of organic food and drinks, personal care and home and lifestyle products in a colourful, contemporary setting.
