The Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2026

The 2026 Guaranteed Irish Business Awards took place on Thursday, 5 March, at The Dublin Royal Convention Centre. Now in their fifth year, the annual awards shine a spotlight on Ireland’s leading businesses that are committed to supporting jobs, communities and provenance.

Hosted by the lovely Marty Whelan, over 400 guests enjoyed a delicious meal crafted from locally sourced ingredients, supplied by several Guaranteed Irish members.

An independent panel of distinguished industry leaders had the tough task of shortlisting a total of 84 companies from hundreds of entries.
