Following an initial judging process at the preliminary stage of the awards, competing businesses will be shortlisted for provincial awards. Provincial award winners will then advance in their respective categories to compete at an all-island awards ceremony in December 2015, where one category winner will also be crowned overall ‘Ulster Bank Business Achiever 2015’.


The overall winner will receive a comprehensive prize package including a €50,000 publishing bursary with the Irish Independent, business mentoring from Enterprise Ireland, a full-service communications workshop, as well as national and regional media exposure.
