SHANNON AIRPORT Group has been shortlisted for the country’s longest-running business awards.

Recognised in the Public Enterprise of the Year category, the Shannon Airport Group is the only Clare representative on the shortlist for the Business & Finance Awards in association with KPMG.

Now celebrating its 51st anniversary, the Business & Finance Awards are Ireland’s longest-running and most prestigious business recognition programme, honouring excellence, leadership, and innovation across Irish and international business.

For its significant contribution to regional development, connectivity and economic growth in the Mid-West, the Shannon Airport Group has made the national shortlist.

Ironically, the Shannon Airport Group will compete with Iarnród Éireann for the accolade. Former CEO, Mary Considine has since taken over from Jim Meade as CEO of the national railway network operator.

A total of five companies are nominated in this category. Bord na Móna, Eirgrid, Iarnród Éireann capital investments and the Western Development Commission are also shortlisted.

Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on Thursday December 11th in The Convention Centre, Dublin. The gala evening will welcome over 1,000 global business, political and social leaders to celebrate outstanding achievement, leadership, and innovation across Irish and international business.

This year’s awards recorded a 29.5 percent increase in submissions, the highest number in over a decade.
