2013 marked the second successful year of the InBusiness Editor's Choice Awards, which took place on December 17th at the Hibernian Club, St. Stephen's Green, to celebrate success and excellence in Irish business. At this unique event which brought together representatives from a wide variety of businesses, awards were handed out in 22 categories – including Best Tourist Attraction, Best in Financial Services, Exporter of the Year and Company of the Year.

The awards are run in association with Chambers Ireland and winners were chosen by the editorial team of InBusiness on the broad criteria of company growth, profile of business, range of services offered and business to customer relationships. Over the past number of years, InBusiness has reported extensively on the state of business affairs in Ireland, but these awards represented an opportunity to celebrate the success stories in Irish business. InBusiness Editor Joseph O' Connor said: “it’s also been a pleasure to cover the highs – those companies who have thrived in adversity or shown inspirational leadership and innovation when it has been most needed. We are delighted to recognise the men, women and firms who have displayed such qualities with this event.”
