Two Kilkenny companies among Ireland’s ‘best managed’ businesses
Two Kilkenny firms were among some of the leading businesses in the country honored at a prestigious awards ceremony in Dublin.
Thirteen new businesses have been awarded the Ireland’s Best Managed Companies (BMC) accolade at the 16th annual awards programme, sponsored by Deloitte.
This year, Deloitte recognised 129 indigenous companies at the awards, representing 28 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland.
The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €15 billion and provide employment to over 45,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction.
Amongst the winning companies this year were Kilkenny companies Modubuild and CluneTech, based at the IDA Business & Technology Park on the Ring Road.
Modubuild, which is headquartered at the IDA Purcellsinch on the Dublin Road (main picture), achieved Ireland’s Best Managed Companies gold standard status for the fourth consecutive year.
Organisers said ‘a thorough judging process precedes the recognition each year, evaluating the entire management team and the business strategy of each company’.
They added: ‘The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland’s top privately-owned businesses, such as a business’ environmental, social and governance standards, strategic planning and talent strategy.
Brian Murphy, lead partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: “The Irish economic growth story has been extraordinary, and we see this evidenced in the success of Irish indigenous businesses and the confidence shown by Best Managed Companies. Ensuring Ireland’s entrepreneurs and the companies they start get the support they need to grow and scale is crucial.”
