Excitement filled the air as the winners of this year’s Irish Family Business Awards were announced at a special lunchtime gala on October 30th at The Johnstown Estate, hosted by MC Matt Cooper.
The ceremony was a truly memorable celebration, honouring generations of families who have built, nurtured, and grown their businesses across Ireland. It shone a spotlight on the dedication, innovation, and enduring legacy of family enterprises — recognising their vital role at the heart of the Irish economy.
