The short-list of finalists in the “SFA National Small Business Awards 2010”, has been officially announced by Dr. Aidan O’Boyle, SFA Chairman and Chair of the Awards Judging Panel. The aim of the awards is to celebrate the achievements of small business in Ireland, and to recognise the vital contribution of the small business sector to Irish industry.
“Among this year’s applicants there was an overwhelming sense of resilience and adaptability and in these challenging times it has been great to see so many small companies positively focused on the growth of their businesses which really gives me hope that small business will be the vital force in our economy in the coming years”, commented Dr. Aidan O’Boyle, SFA Chairman and Chair of the Awards Judging Panel. “As well as our six categories of awards this year we also feature five of the best Emerging New Businesses (less than 2 years established) and I must say that I was very encouraged by the number and the diversity of businesses represented in this section”, stated Dr. O’Boyle.
An Taoiseach Brian Cowen, TD, who is Patron of the Awards, stated that: “The SFA National Small Business Awards present us with a timely opportunity to both acknowledge and applaud the continuing significant contribution being made by small businesses to creating and sustaining jobs and wealth in our economy. The determination, acumen and resilience of our small business entrepreneurs are a source of great encouragement as we try to overcome the current economic challenges.”
