The finalists in the Small Firms Association (SFA) National Small Business Awards 2021 have been officially announced! There was a total of 43 companies selected as finalists, from 15 different counties, across 9 categories. The amazing response to the awards programme serves as a reminder that Irish small companies are resilient, putting their best foot forward and seeking recognition for their efforts.

The awards, now in their 17^th year, represent the highest accolade for small business in the Republic of Ireland. The aim of the awards is to celebrate the achievements of small businesses in Ireland and to recognise the vital contribution that the small business community makes to the Irish economy. This is why permanent tsb are proud to support the SFA by sponsoring the National Small Business Awards and the “Innovator of the Year” category 2021.

Huge congratulations to the finalists in this category!
