Honouring outstanding achievements in Ireland …
The fourth annual awards at The Round Room at The Mansion House, sponsored by PTSB, saw 400 guests gather to celebrate Irish business excellence and the Guaranteed Irish commitment to fostering local enterprise.
An independent panel of distinguished industry leaders, including An Post and FBD Insurance, had the hard task of shortlisting 84 finalists after narrowing down hundreds of entries.
Uniquely won Business of the Year, Kinvara Skincare took home the award for Beauty, sponsored by ARI; Caroline Duffy Designs was awarded the Irish Fashion and Accessories Designer, sponsored by An Post; and Original Irish Hotels was named the Guaranteed Irish Gift Champion, sponsored by .ie.
The big prize of a €50,000 communications campaign was awarded to Homevalue for supporting so many other Guaranteed Irish businesses in their supply chain, while Dr Norah Patten was recognised for her remarkable contributions as a STEM advocate with the Guaranteed Irish Special Recognition Award 2025.
Host Mario Rosenstock kept the audience entertained throughout the three-course meal crafted from locally sourced ingredients, supplied by a number of members.
Brid O’Connell, CEO Guaranteed Irish, commented: “The night was filled with surprises – entertainment, new awards and, a strong sense of purpose as our members continue to support one another. I was especially delighted to present our Special Recognition award to Dr Norah Patten, whom I personally admire and consider a great role model. Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone who applied. I am truly proud to work with each and every member.”
