Entries are now open for the Waterford Business Awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation across Waterford City and County.

The awards are organised by Waterford Chamber in collaboration with Dungarvan and West Waterford Chamber, with the support of Waterford Council and WLR, underlining a strong partnership between local business and civic leaders.

This year’s awards feature a refreshed range of categories designed to recognise businesses of all sizes and sectors. Among the key categories are Business of the Year, Customer Service Excellence, Environmental and Sustainability, and the Think Waterford First Award, which highlights businesses that champion local loyalty and support the regional economy.

Crucially, the awards are open to all businesses in Waterford City and County, whether or not they are members of a Chamber. Organisers are urging companies, from start-ups to long-established enterprises, to put themselves forward and showcase their achievements over the past year.

Entries can be submitted online via WaterfordChamber.ie, making the process straightforward and accessible.

The winners will be announced at a Gala Award Ceremony in the Tower Hotel on Friday, November 13, where the region’s leading businesses will be recognised for their contribution to employment, service, and community life.
