County Wexford Chamber Business Awards finalists are revealed

The excitement is certainly building to find out who will walk away with this year’s awards. The shortlist announced will now go forward to the final interview stages which will take place on Thursday, March 23.

Judges will score each application on multiple criteria and winners will be selected across 19 categories. The winner of the Overall County Wexford Business of the Year Award will be chosen from the winners in each award category.

Now in their second year, the prestigious event which is organised by County Wexford Chamber with Wexford County Council as the headline sponsor, is widely seen as the benchmark for business success in the county.

CEO Emma Dunphy says: “We have received a record number of entries this year and we are delighted to see a broad range of diverse business applicants right across the county for this year’s business awards. I know it has been a real challenge for judges to whittle down so many applications to the shortlist. The very best of luck to everyone, we have incredible businesses across the county and these awards are here to celebrate them all.”

The winners will be announced at the black-tie gala awards ceremony in Clayton Whites Hotel on Friday, May 5. The upcoming business awards will be a marvellous opportunity to gather with local businesses across the county and celebrate the successes of the year. It will certainly be a sold-out event, with over 450 guests expected to attend the stylish awards ceremony dinner. The event will be hosted by comedian Neil Delamere, with music by Divine Invention.
