Northern Ireland is to get brand new and exciting awards aimed at recognising our top business achievers.

Business Eye is joining forces with UTV to launch brand new Business Awards for Northern Ireland in association with Bank of Scotland (Ireland).

Firmly people-based and pitched at the entire local business community, the awards will honour Northern Ireland’s Business Personality of the Year, Company of the Year and a wide-ranging number of specialist categories.
Hundreds of entries are anticipated across the 14 different categories and the winners in each case will be chosen by a panel of judges including UTV’s Business Correspondent Jamie Delargy, Business Eye Editor Richard Buckley as well as leading local business journalists.
“We’re very aware that Northern Ireland has a lot of different awards, but the unique combination of Business Eye, UTV and our main sponsors Bank of Scotland (Ireland) will help make the new awards quite unique and distinctive,” says Brenda Buckley, Publisher of Business Eye.

“We’re already planning what will be a memorable awards night in October, and we’ve a comprehensive build-up programme ready to go between ourselves and our partners at UTV and U105.”
