Commenting on the results, Ennis Chamber President Colin Ryan said, “This year’s Clare Business Awards Gala was a great night of celebration and optimism. The finalists represented the best qualities you find in Clare businesses; commitment, drive, an openness to new opportunities and a commitment to training.”

Summing up what impressed most about the overall winner, CSGL Electrical Wholesalers, the judges said, “CSGL has a clearly defined growth strategy which embraces customer satisfaction at its core. The company has developed robust best practice systems and procedures to ensure a quality product and it is exceptionally well-managed.”

Commenting on her company’s win, Caroline O’Connor said, “Winning two individual awards was a fantastic achievement for CSGL, to then be announced as ‘Clare Business of the Year’ topped off an already successful and thrilling occasion for us. We work as a team and these three awards underpin the commitment from each member of our team. It is a group effort.”
