There are a wide array of Cork businesses who have made the shortlist for the Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2023.
They include the likes of Meadows & Byrne, Charleville Cheese, Clonakilty Black Pudding and many more.
Guaranteed Irish recently announced the finalists of the awards, which will take place on Tuesday 14 March at The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin and will celebrate Ireland’s leading businesses that support jobs, are committed to local communities, and contribute to Ireland, its people, and its economy.
Emceed by broadcaster Anton Savage, the second annual Guaranteed Irish Business Awards will recognise and reward the success and resilience of both homegrown and multinational businesses across various sector categories.
Achievement awards including Guaranteed Irish One to Watch, Guaranteed Irish Person of the Year, Guaranteed Irish Brand Activation Champion, Guaranteed Irish Sustainability Champion, and Guaranteed Irish Advocate within a Business will also be presented at the event.
