The CBA also announced a new President at their AGM in the Metropole Hotel Cork this week. Well-known Cork businessman Kevin Herlihy of Herlihy’s Centra is taking over the reins from Eoin O’Sullivan from M&P O’Sullivan.
“To be a finalist any year is a wonderful achievement, but especially in the current climate,” said Herlihy.
“The businesses shortlisted have demonstrated true resilience and innovation in one of the most difficult trading years in our history.”
The public now has the chance to vote for the overall winners in each award category on CBAAwards.ie.
Gongs will be presented at the Cork Business Association’s annual Taste of Cork President’s Dinner at the Vienna Woods hotel on Saturday, April 23rd and the event will help raise funds for the Irish Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
