Outstanding Small Business.
The Wine Buff received a Highly Commended Award in the Outstanding Small Business category for 2006.
According to Angela Kennedy, Awards Director, “the aim of the awards is to celebrate the achievement, innovation and excellence of small business in Ireland and to pay tribute to their outstanding contribution to Irish industry. In 2005, more than 2,000 new businesses were started every month in Ireland which is a true barometer of our pro-innovation culture. The SFA see this Awards Programme as a major platform to both recognize and foster this new entrepreneurial talent and culture throughout the country spurring on creativity and employment which ultimately drives our economic development”.
‘Entrants this year showed the great diversity of the companies throughout the length and breadth of Ireland. The judges were very impressed by both the quality and standard of the many applications received and this made their task even more difficult”.
