The highly anticipated Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2025, proudly sponsored by PTSB, returned for its fourth year, delivering yet another memorable celebration of Irish business excellence.
The event was filled with energy and camaraderie as members gathered to network and honour outstanding achievements. Louth-based company, Uniquely, took home the prestigious Business of the Year award, while the esteemed Guaranteed Irish Special Recognition Award 2025 was presented to Dr. Norah Patten for her remarkable contributions.
Construction, Engineering and Manufacturing Category winners, Etex Ireland, is a global leader in lightweight construction solutions, specialising in creating sustainable, safe, and beautiful living spaces through innovative building materials.
Winning this award is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and excellence of everyone at Etex Ireland. It reflects our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and supporting local jobs across our brands—Cedral Ireland, Euronit Ireland, EQUITONE Ireland, and Viriform. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this success! This recognition not only highlights our achievements but also strengthens our position among the best businesses in Ireland. Let’s continue to build a better future together!
The elegant black-tie event was held at The Round Room at The Mansion House, where 400 guests enjoyed a delicious meal crafted from locally sourced ingredients, supplied by a number of Guaranteed Irish members. The evening was hosted by renowned Irish comedian Mario Rosenstock, who kept the crowd entertained with his signature wit. The night was a testament to the strength, innovation, and resilience of Irish businesses, reinforcing the Guaranteed Irish commitment to fostering local enterprise.
The awards night is always a fantastic opportunity for networking, but most importantly, for celebration. This year, there was an incredible atmosphere in the room. A huge thank you to all our sponsors, including title sponsor PTSB, for making it all possible. The night was filled with surprises—exciting entertainment, new awards, and, most importantly, a strong sense of purpose as our members continue to support one another. I was especially delighted to present our Special Recognition award to Dr. Norah Patten, whom I personally admire and consider a great role model. Congratulations to all the winners and to everyone who applied—I am truly proud to work with each and every member.
