We are absolutely delighted to announce ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN for this year’s Newry Chamber Employee & Team Awards which are designed to celebrate and recognise our greatest assets, our people.
If you have an employee or team that has made a significant contribution to your business or organisation, the Employee & Team Awards are a fantastic way to say thank you.
Other Chambers across the island run Annual Business Awards but Newry Chamber acknowledges that there would be no businesses without our staff. That is why we alternate the Business Awards and the Employee & Team Awards each year so that both businesses and employees are recognised in equal measure.
In 2022, we received 150+ applications across all categories with 400+ guests attending the Gala Awards Ceremony which was a wonderful celebration of the incredible talent the Greater Newry Area boasts within its business community and we do hope you get involved once again this year by getting your entries in.
- There are 23 categories to choose from
- You can enter up to a maximum of 4 categories
ENTRIES CLOSE: Friday 9th August 2024
