Following feedback from the local business community, we would like to advise that the awards dinner and ceremony, originally scheduled for 19 March at The Venue – Eskmills, has been postponed to 17 September.

This decision has been made to better accommodate businesses that are keen to be involved but are currently facing challenges associated with year-end workloads, staffing pressures, budget constraints, and other operational demands. By moving the event to later in the year, we hope to ensure greater participation and allow businesses the time and capacity to fully engage with the awards programme.

Importantly, the awards programme itself will continue as planned. We have already received a strong number of entries, and the judging process will commence from the end of this month. The shortlist of finalists will be announced in March.

There is still time to submit applications, with entries open until 27th of February. We encourage eligible businesses to take part and showcase their achievements. We look forward to recognising and celebrating the outstanding achievements of our business community at the rescheduled awards dinner and ceremony in September. More info on the awards here
