Over 250 guests from across Ireland’s business community gathered on Thursday, June 26th, at Clontarf Castle, Dublin, for the 2025 InBusiness Recognition Awards, celebrating exceptional performance and leadership across 25 industry categories.
Now in its 13th year, the awards continue to highlight the strength, innovation and resilience of Irish enterprise. Hosted by broadcaster Anna Daly, the event recognised outstanding organisations, teams and individuals making a tangible impact across sectors ranging from infrastructure and fintech to sustainability, customer service and community development.
The awards programme honours businesses that demonstrate excellence in key areas such as product and service innovation, technological advancement and employee engagement. Winners were selected based on a comprehensive evaluation of company profiles, service delivery and commitment to customer care. In a challenging economic climate marked by inflation, rising costs and a shortage of skilled staff, these recipients have not only adapted but thrived, raising the bar for business excellence across Ireland.
This year’s award recipients represent the full spectrum of Irish enterprise, from multinational firms to regional leaders and innovative SMEs. Whether delivering cutting-edge financial technology, driving sustainability goals or enhancing everyday customer experience, these organisations exemplify the creativity and ambition that continue to shape Ireland’s economic future.
