Guaranteed Irish have announced their finalists from a record number of entries for the Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2024, supported by PTSB.
The event will take place on Thursday, 21 March at the RDS.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Guaranteed Irish will mark the occasion with a gala ball and its third annual Guaranteed Business Awards MC’d by business broadcaster and comedian, Oliver Callan.
The Awards
The Awards will recognise and reward the success and resilience of both homegrown and multinational businesses across various sector categories.
Achievement Awards, including One to Watch, Guaranteed Irish Person of the Year, Guaranteed Brand Activation Champion, and Guaranteed Irish Sustainability Champion, will be presented at the event.
An independent panel of industry leaders from names including Matheson, An Post, and FBD Insurance whittled down hundreds of entries to a shortlist of 171 finalists.
Supporting Irish
Bríd O’Connell, chief executive of Guaranteed Irish, said, “The calibre of entries for this year’s awards was remarkable, in terms of quality and numbers, and entries increased by 70%."
“2024 is a little more special for Guaranteed Irish winners as we celebrate our 50th anniversary,” she added. “Our Business Awards to date have been a tremendous success, our nominees and award winners went on to achieve phenomenal success last year, from building brand awareness, to securing investment, and expanding globally.”
Speaking on the announcement, PTSB’s retail banking director Patrick Farrell said, “As a Bank solely focused on the Irish market, it is an honour for PTSB to work alongside the Guaranteed Irish team in recognising and celebrating the contribution and commitment of Irish businesses to local employment and global innovation through the 2024 Awards cycle.”
