The network of companies created by the awards has a combined turnover of €8.5 billion and employs a total of 40,000 people.
The winning companies represent 26 counties across Ireland and come from a range of sectors, from retail and hospitality to manufacturing and construction. This year’s winning cohort of companies also features a strong presence from the technology sector.
