The Guaranteed Irish Business Awards, sponsored by PTSB were launched today for 2025. This year the awards will showcase the best of Irish enterprise, honouring companies that continue to make a big impact in our economy, in communities, and within the Guaranteed Irish eco system.
Following the huge success of the awards held in March of this year, which coincided with Guaranteed Irish’s 50th anniversary, the momentum will be kept going into 2025. With over 2,500 members, these awards are all about recognising those who go above and beyond to support local jobs, and each other, whatever the sector.
The awards to be held in The Round Room at The Mansion House, Thursday 20th March '25, will be shining a spotlight on excellence across a range of categories including Sustainability, Construction, Food & Beverage, Technology, Pharmaceuticals and Leadership. A panel of industry leaders will have the tough job of selecting the finalists and overall winners, who won’t just take home an award—they’ll also be invited to join the prestigious Guaranteed Irish CEO Alumni network.
