Glenisk is overall winner at Guaranteed Irish Business Awards

Tullamore-based Glenisk has been announced as the Overall Winner at Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2024, proudly sponsored by PTSB

Guaranteed Irish celebrated 50 years supporting businesses in Ireland at the awards ceremony last night in the RDS.

Picking up the Guaranteed Irish Business of the Year award was Glenisk, which employs 90 people across Ireland and contributes so generously to the local community. Guaranteed Irish Special Recognition Award for 2024 was Dr. Maire Geoghegan-Quinn. Dr. Geoghegan-Quinn chaired an independent panel of experts in a national review addressing systemic gender inequality in higher education resulting in a published report in 2016.

An independent panel of distinguished industry leaders from names including An Post, Aer Rianta, FBD Insurance, and IDA Ireland amongst others, had the tough task of shortlisting a total of 174 finalists after whittling down hundreds of entries.

Glenisk was not only chosen as the overall winner, it was also winner in the Food Supplier or Producer Category and Family Run Business Category

Brid O’Connell, CEO, Guaranteed Irish, said: “Congratulations to all our winners - we have been overwhelmed with the reception to and interest in the awards this year, we are delighted to have sold out a large venue such as the RDS.  It is fantastic to be able to celebrate Ireland’s leading businesses who continue to support Irish jobs, community and provenance.”

Patrick Farrell, Director of Retail Banking, PTSB, said: “As an Irish business ourselves, PTSB is honoured to partner with Guaranteed Irish in recognising the determination, innovation and contribution of so many wonderful, locally based businesses across the country.”
