The countdown to the region’s most prestigious business event has officially begun! Today, at a vibrant launch in the Highlanes Gallery, the Drogheda Chamber of Commerce unveiled the North East Business Awards 2025, setting the stage for a spectacular Gala Awards Night at the CityNorth Hotel on November 22nd. This is your business’s golden opportunity to shine, connect, and celebrate success!
These awards have long been a cornerstone of the North East’s economic calendar, consistently recognising and honouring the very best in local enterprise, from fledgling start-ups to established industry giants. With Flogas Ireland proudly returning as Premier Partner, the standard of excellence is set to be higher than ever.
The best part? Entry to these highly coveted awards is absolutely free of charge and open to all businesses – be they small, medium, or large. The Chamber is dedicated to ensuring every deserving business in the region has the chance to showcase their hard work and innovation.
Adding an extra layer of excitement this year are three brand new categories designed to reflect the diverse and dynamic landscape of our local economy:
-
Excellence in Hospitality (1-9 employees)
-
Excellence in Hospitality (10+ employees)
-
And one that’s sure to tantalise tastebuds: “A Taste of the Boyne Valley”
“There is truly something for everyone in these awards. It’s a perfect chance to profile your business,” stated a passionate Naomi Tully, President of the Drogheda Chamber. Her words echo the sentiment that these awards are not just about winning, but about the invaluable opportunity to gain recognition, boost morale, and connect with peers and potential partners across the region.
