Over the course of the last two decades, we have witnessed a multitude of outstanding accomplishments and innovation amongst Irish small businesses. This esteemed awards initiative has served as a vehicle for these companies to showcase their achievements and acknowledge the indispensable dedication of their staff, underscoring their significant contributions and unwavering loyalty. This year, in its 20th edition, forty-five incredible companies were shortlisted as finalists and five Emerging New Businesses were selected from hundreds of applications received.
