The finalists for this year’s County Kildare Chamber Business Awards, powered by Eirgrid, have been announced, with over 190 businesses battling it out in 13 categories, ranging Employee of the Year, Excellence in Communication, Diversity, Equality and Inclusion, to new categories like Net Zero Achievement and Excellence in the Community.

 

Now in their ninth year the prestigious event which is organised by County Kildare Chamber with Eirgrid as Principal Sponsor, is widely seen as the benchmark for business success in the County.

 

CEO Allan Shine said: “We have received a record number of entries this year and I know it has been a real challenge for our judges to whittle down so many quality applications to the shortlist. We have incredible businesses across the county and these awards are here to celebrate them all.

 

“Our shortlist is made up of businesses of all sizes, from all sectors and from all parts of Kildare, reflecting the diversity of our county’s economy. The finalists are an amazing showcase of the strength of Kildare’s business community.

 

“The 2023 County Kildare Chamber Business Awards will be a great opportunity to celebrate the outstanding successes and resilience of Kildare business. We are now looking forward to the next stage of the judging process with the overall winners to be announced at the Gala Awards evening.  This year the event will be held on the 17th November in the Killashee Hotel when we will gather together to recognise and reward the best in Kildare business”.
