Fota Collection, Gresham Metropole and Top Shop were in the final shortlist in the large business category. Jacques, Cornstore and Phelan’s Pharmacy made the final shortlist for the small to medium size category.
President of UCC, Dr Michael Murphy congratulated all the individuals and businesses involved, remarking:
"We are honoured to win this award which is especially significant as we commemorate George Boole’s bicentenary and the impact he continues to make on the world, a story in which the role of UCC, Cork and Ireland is considerable. I'd like to extend a special thanks to the people and organisations that support us locally, nationally and internationally. This award will serve as further motivation for the University community to continue to work diligently towards furthering the economic success of the region and nation."
The awards were sponsored by O'Callaghan Properties, The Irish Examiner and the Clarion Hotel Cork.
