County Wexford Business Awards 2025 – finalists

With top businesses across County Wexford battling it out in this year’s County Wexford Business Awards, the list of finalists for this year’s popular awards has been revealed.

The excitement is certainly building to find out who will walk away with this year’s awards. Businesses took part in the final interview stage on Tuesday, April 8, where judges scored each application on multiple criteria. The winner of the Overall County Wexford Business of the Year Award, with BD as the lead sponsor, will be chosen from the winners in each award category.

Now in their fourth year, the prestigious event which is organised by County Wexford Chamber with Wexford County Council as the lead partner, is widely seen as the benchmark for business success in the county.

County Wexford Chamber CEO Paula Roche says: “We were delighted to see the huge number of entries for this year’s County Wexford Business Awards. It’s clear that our local businesses are doing great work, as shown by the high quality of the nominations. With so many impressive stories of growth, innovation, and adaptability, our judges had a really tough job picking the finalists. Good luck to all finalists.”

The winners will be announced at the black-tie gala awards ceremony in Whites of Wexford Hotel on Friday, May 23. The upcoming business awards will be a marvellous opportunity to gather with local businesses across the county and celebrate the successes of the year. It will certainly be a sold-out event, with over 450 guests expected to attend the stylish awards ceremony dinner. The event will be hosted by author, broadcaster, comedian & MC Colm O’Regan, with music by Divine Invention.
