Thursday, March 7th, marked a momentous occasion: the 20th edition of the SFA National Small Business Awards held in the RDS.
Celebrating two decades of excellence, innovation, and commitment, this year's Gala, hosted by Sonya Lennon, was nothing short of spectacular, shining a light on the remarkable achievements of Ireland's small businesses.
From the 50 fantastic companies that made part of the SFA Awards 2024 Programme, only one winner in each category was chosen by the judges and awarded at the gala event.
