Guaranteed Irish 50 years special report

Ahead of GI's 2024 awards ceremony, we ask what difference a Guaranteed Irish Business Award can make

Member companies such as Chapters Bookstore, Glenisk, Wavin Ireland, Donegal Bees, Fleetwood Paints and PTSB desire strong engagement with their local communities

Joining GI offers promotion, lobbying and networking opportunites plus a wealth of commercial experience

Although Guaranteed Irish has its origins in the traditional, its profile today reflects a diverse, dynamic membership

Commitment to the environment is one of the key criteria on which Guaranteed Irish members are appraised

Companies must show they meet specific criteria before they can use the widely recognised GI symbol

In the Guaranteed Irish boardroom the emphasis is on experience, common values and strength in diversity

Still taking its lead from Daithi O’Connor, the supplement producer makes the most of its Guaranteed Irish logo

The business philosophy and operation of Guaranteed Irish have evolved greatly in its 50 years and it is now a national organisation for all businesses based in Ireland, which support jobs, communities and provenance, says chief executive Brid O’Connell

From its inception in 1974, Guaranteed Irish has proved an outstanding success and a commemorative stamp marks its 50th year
