Commenting on the finalists, President of Cork Business Association, Kevin Herlihy, said, “I would like to congratulate each of our very deserving finalists.

“The businesses shortlisted have demonstrated that they can grow or adapt or innovate in challenging times. Success wears many different hats. To some, it’s bunkering down and keep the doors open to provide a vital service for our city, while others have innovated, pivoted or grown.”
