Love is in the air this Valentine's Day, as Asda Larne celebrates two couples who have found love in the supermarket aisles.

Kirsty Reid, an administration colleague, and section leader Carl Heggarty in the home shopping team quickly built up a friendship at work.

“We always enjoyed each other’s company,” commented Kirsty, “we have a real laugh together.”

Having ‘checked out’ each other, the pair realised they might be more than just friends.

“We started seeing more and more of each other and our relationship blossomed from there - we share loads of common interests,” added Kirsty.

“I am lucky enough to own a horse and regularly compete in competitions. Carl has always been really supportive and can often be found down at the stables very early in the morning helping out. He’s so sweet.”

Emre Akarsu and Robyn McMichael started working part time in Asda Larne around the same time. Emre admired Robyn from afar until another colleague encouraged them to meet up outside of work.
