What a reaction to the 2025 North East Business Awards, organised by Drogheda and District Chamber, and taking place in the City North Hotel on November 22.
This year has matched any year for interest, with entries from across every sector of industry, and the judges left with a real headache to even get to the final five in each category – never mind selecting a winner!
The public vote has proved as popular as ever, thousands of votes cast and nervous times ahead for those shortlisted for an award on the night.
The range of entries has been stunning, all forms of business and trade, plus hospitality, manufacturing, sports, medical, housing, dance, not for profit, education, beauty, wellness, lifestyle, food and beverage, transport, art….the list just goes on and on, proving how vibrant and diverse this region truly is.
Ultimately, the aim of the awards is to give entrants the chance to chronicle their story and their successes and look at how much they have achieved and delivered on this year, enough to give them the mandate to enter a hotly contested awards process. Shortlisted, not shortlisted, winners or qualifiers, the awards recognise the many attributes that local firms possess and hopefully will build on in the years to come.
With Flogas Ireland as Premier Partners, the awards are backed across industry and to those who have come on board to support the highlight of the local business calendar, we say thank you, these awards cannot happen without your unwavering backing.
The night, while recognising winners, is very much a key networking experience where business meets fine dining and quality entertainment in one of the North East’s finest settings, the City North Hotel.
