Business Excellence & CSR Awards

Honouring, recognising and rewarding the success of the business community in the Fingal Dublin region.

The awards appeal to business people who feel that they are working smarter than their competitors and want to create a business edge by promoting excellence in the quality of their products, services and customer experience. Winning one of these awards raises a person or company’s profile, enhances their reputation and helps in attracting new business.

We wish to thank our sponsors, particularly the main sponsor, Fingal County Council, for their support and commitment to making these Awards a very special and prestigious event. 

In 2019 a record number of entries were received and the quality of the applications also improved. The full list of 2019 winners is available below.

Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus pandemic, in order to protect one another, the 2020 and 2021 editions of the Awards have been cancelled.

We look forward to hopefully hosting the event once again in 2022.
