Forty local businesses and organisations in contention for the 2025 Meath Business and Tourism Awards
The Meath Chronicle and Celtic Media Group is proud to be hosting the 2025 annual Meath Business and Tourism Awards with the valued partnership of Meath County Council, Boyne Valley Tourism and valued sponsors this Friday at the Trim Castle Hotel (14th November).
There are 40 outstanding business and tourism enterprises, already proven winners shortlisted for awards, but hoping to walk away with one of the 'Excellence In' accolades in 12 competitive categories and perhaps the coveted 'Overall Best Business Award'.
Meath County Council Cathaoirleach, Cllr Wayne Harding and Chief Executive, Kieran Kehoe will be special guests at the Trim Castle Hotel - back to where the very first Meath Business & Tourism Awards were held here in 2007 - for the glittering occasion which will be MC'd be RTE broadcaster, Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh.
The awards have been a highlight of the local business calendar, a celebration of the ingenuity, success and achievements of a diverse and innovative range of local businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations.
Supporting the awards are a fantastic grouping of MBTA partners and sponsors, many of which have been with us from year one and without that support, these awards would simply not happen.
Alongside Meath County Council and Boyne Valley Tourism the sponsors include AIB, Meta, Sheridan Insurances, Dunboyne College of Further Education and Training, Alltech, Meath's Local Enterprise Office, Bective Stud & Tea Room and new member of that prestigious group, Meade Farm.
See this week's Meath Chronicle for a special supplement featuring EVERY business and organisation nominated.
