Now in their 22nd year, the awards are among the country’s most established and reputable ceremonies for celebrating excellence in franchising and rewarding outstanding achievements among the industry’s providers and suppliers.
Alison McGinley, Managing Director of TaxAssist Accountants, said: “It is always an honour to be nominated for an award in recognition of our success as a franchise, as it proves that our business model is working. We have gone from strength to strength since launching in Ireland only eight years ago – we are up against some very well-known brands in the finals, so we know the competition will be tough!”
The judging panel for the 2017 Irish Franchise Awards includes Newstalk Business Presenter and former Irish Dragon, Bobby Kerr; Greg Swift, Head of Enterprise at Dublin Local Enterprise Office; Michael Bradley, former CEO of the Irish Franchise Association, and Elaine O’Regan, of the Sunday Business Post.
David Killeen, Chairman of the Irish Franchise Association, said: “The awards are an opportunity for us to formally acknowledge the excellent work being done by all franchisors and franchisees in growing the sector and contributing significant new sustainable jobs.”
Irish Franchise Awards will be presented to the winners at a formal black-tie ceremony at The Radisson St Helen’s Hotel in Stillorgan on Friday 19 May, hosted by Newstalk’s Jonathan Healy.
