The Fingal Business Excellence Awards 2009 celebrate business excellence in the Fingal Region and pay tribute to the talent, drive, innovation and success of the business community in the area. The Awards, now in their seventh year, are organised by the Fingal Dublin Chamber and recognise the efforts of companies to promote excellence in the quality of their products, services and customer care, and also the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the success of businesses in the area.
There were fifteen awards this year and they are listed below. Entry is free and the Awards are open to all businesses/organisations, both big and small, in the Fingal Region whether in the retail, manufacturing, services or tourism/hospitality sectors. Spotcheck, the mystery shopping and business measurement-services company, carry out the judging and shortlisted fifty five entries to go forward to the final.
The winners were announced at the prestigious black-tie Gala Awards Presentation Evening sponsored by Fingal County Council and hosted by RTEs Marty Whelan on Thursday 29th May 2008 in the award winning Crowne Plaza Dublin Northwood.
The Fingal Business Awards provide an important opportunity for the business community to come together in a spirit of vibrancy and optimism and to promote themselves and their staff by entering the various award categories.
