Clare Business Excellence Awards at Inn At Dromoland

THE Clare Business Excellence Awards confirmed its status as the best business event in Clare.

Hosted by Ennis Chamber with Clare County Council as lead sponsor, and The Clare Echo as its media partner, the glittering occasion held at the Inn at Dromoland on November 27, was a night of celebration for businesses from all corners of the Banner County.

Outstanding businesses large and small, plus a voluntary community group were announced winners of their individual categories, by event MC, RTE Radio1 Reporter John Cooke, while the mantle of โ€˜Clare Business of the Yearโ€™ went to Beckman Coulter, the Life Sciences business based in the beautiful rural setting of Oโ€™Callaghanโ€™s Mills.

Beckman Coulter had earlier won two individual categories for โ€˜Best Green & Sustainable Practicesโ€™, sponsored by Rengen Power, and for its commitment to โ€˜Health & Wellness in the Workplaceโ€™, sponsored by Essilor.

Congratulating all winners and finalists on the night, Cathaoirleach of Clare County Council Cllr. Alan Oโ€™Callaghan said, โ€œThe diversity and innovation of your businesses is a positive reflection of a vibrant and sustainable local economy. Your success is a testament to the resilience and determination many of you have demonstrated in recent years โ€“ overcoming many challenges.

The tenacity, endurance and entrepreneurship you have shown leaves me in no doubt that this countyโ€™s economy will continue to grow and prosper thanks in no small way to each of you and your hard work. You carry the pride of โ€˜The Bannerโ€™ in all that you do.โ€

Sheila Lynch, President Ennis Chamber said, โ€œThe finalists in the room represent a very wide and diverse range of sectors and businesses.

โ€œFrom multi-nationals to independent retailers, from our world-famous tourism businesses to our excellent hospitality and food providers, from traditional long-established businesses to new businesses based on futuristic cutting-edge technology โ€“ County Clare has it all in abundance.

โ€œWe can all feel very proud. I congratulate all finalists and category winners, but of course, we have to give special mention to overall winners โ€“ โ€˜Clare Business of the Yearโ€™ Beckman Coulter โ€“ a very worthy winner.โ€
