The shortlist of companies nominated for the 2022 Tullamore and District Chamber Business Awards sponsored by Tullamore Credit Union was announced this week.
The nominees are recognized for their quality, innovation and achievements, especially during these challenging times for businesses.
The shortlisted companies were first nominated by the public and the jury then had the difficult task of shortlisting the finalists, with the winners announced at the awards ceremony on Saturday 22nd October at The Bridge House Hotel to be given, Tullamore.
The event begins at 7pm with a champagne reception, followed by a gala dinner and live entertainment by the band Eden.
The judges and chamber awards committee congratulated all of the shortlists, saying each had “shown true innovation and leadership in advancing business, creating jobs and supporting local economies.”
In addition to main sponsors, Tullamore Credit Union, the event is also sponsored by Dunnes Stores and Hendricks Gin.
