Five Monaghan based firms are celebrating after landing a coveted nationally recognised best practice award at a ceremony in Dublin.
The Farney County took home almost half of the 13 accolades which were handed out to businesses at Ireland’s Best Managed Companies (BMC) in the RDS.
This year, professional services firm 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.
Carrickmacross firm Activ8 Solar Energies and therapeutic residential service provider Ashdale Care from Castleblayney were recognised for the first time at the awards.
Both companies achieved Ireland’s Best Managed Companies accolade, while Monaghan’s Errigal Group secured a gold standard award for the fourth consecutive year.
Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland’s Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said the performance of all five Monaghan companies illustrated the well-being of the county’s domestic business sector.
“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.”
