Irish Wheelchair Association thanks Louth employees for Ireland’s Best Employers Award

Irish Wheelchair Association, one of Ireland’s largest disability organisations has thanked its employees across Louth as the organisation was recently ranked 2nd place in the annual Sunday Independent Ireland’s Best Employers List for 2025, which was released this week.  

Ireland’s Best Employers List 2025 is based on independent feedback from more than 12,000 workers from 1,100 organisations across the country who were surveyed anonymously. IWA was ranked above many highly successful national and international companies including ESB, Intel and Pfizer.  2nd place is a move up two places, from 4th place in 2024, for the Association.  

According to Irish Wheelchair Association CEO Ann Marie O'Grady this award recognises the hard work of IWA employees, who are committed to serving IWA members with disabilities in the Louth and across Ireland.  

“It is reassuring that despite the challenges we face in Louth and nationwide to recruit personal assistants for our members that IWA continues to grow from strength to strength. In the Louth our employees work incredibly hard for our members and for their own colleagues to make sure we are an inclusive, supportive organisation for everyone. I am delighted for the organisation that the hard work of our employees has been recognised.”

In recent months Irish Wheelchair Association has run numerous recruitment campaigns focused on filling roles across the county. The organisation is hopeful that ranking 2nd in Ireland’s Best Employers List for 2025 will encourage more people to apply for the many vacancies within the organisation.  

“Working with IWA is more than just a job” according to Ann Marie O’Grady. "Every role, whether they are personal assistants for our members, drivers or support staff, feeds into something bigger: helping people with disabilities live the lives they choose. I congratulate all our staff for what they have achieved this year.” 

With nearly 2,500 employees across the country, Irish Wheelchair Association is one of Ireland’s leading disability service providers offering at-home assisted living support and support within its national network of community centres and bus services. In recent years, the organisation has added additional offerings like fitness inclusion and a nationwide School Leavers Programme.
