The event, run by The Anglo-Celt in partnership with Cavan County Council, will take place on December 7 in the Slieve Russell Hotel in Ballyconnell.
The Celt is delighted to welcome on board Cavan County Council as partners for the 2023 and 2024 events. The Celt’s managing editor, Linda O’Reilly, thanked all of the sponsors.
She said that the awards seek to recognise good businesses in the county and reward excellence in areas such as customer services, innovation and emerging new businesses.
“We want to help to promote good businesses and entrepreneurs across County Cavan. It is they who provide employment and underpin the local economy,” said Ms O’Reilly, adding that businesses of all sizes can be nominated for recognition.
The awards were launched at the offices of the Celt last Friday when people all over the county were urged to submit their nominations before the deadline.
CEO of Cavan County Concil Tommy Ryan said the local authority was delighted to be partners for the awards. He noted that the council, industry and community partners have a collective part to play in making Cavan a “great place in which to live, work, socialise and do business”.
He acknowledged the local government role in helping to create good conditions for business in the county through providing services and infrastructure and putting in place various policies and plans such as the County Development Plan.
The Local Enterprise Office (LEO), under the auspices of Cavan County Council, also plays a pro-active role in supporting and nurturing small and fledgling businesses.
The categories for this year’s awards are: Best Family Business, Not For Profit, Emerging New Business, Digital Trailblazer Award, Excellence in Customer Service, Best Cavan Tourism Experience and Innovation and Resilience. There will also be an overall winner, while a lifetime achievement award will also be conferred.
The winner of the 2022 awards was CABU by the Lakes.
Entries for the 2023 awards close on Sunday, November 5.
