Some of the winners at last year’s awards
The finalists have been announced for next month’s Louth Business Awards 2015.
The annual gala dinner and awards will take place in the Carrickdale Hotel on Saturday November 14th.
This year’s awards attracted a record number of entries across the 15 categories.
Last year’s event was a sell out, with great demand expected again this year. The cost of the night is €50 per person plus VAT, which includes a champagne reception, five course meal with wine and dancing until late with music from Sugartown Road.
There will also be a competition for Best Dressed Gent, sponsored by Tony McDonnell Menswear in Earl Street and Best Dressed Lady, sponsored by Mizu, Dundalk and Carlingford.
Tickets for the event can be booked by calling Brenda on 042 9336343 or by emailing brenda@dundalk.ie
