DBS winner of Best Business School
InBusiness Editor’s Choice Awards

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.”

Companies awarded on the day included Emirates, for Business Airline of the Year; AIB for Best Financial App for their new My Money Manager; and Ireland's newest health insurance provider GloHealth, for Best Private Health Insurer. Intel Ireland was awarded Manufacturer of the Year for the second year running. 2014 marks Intel's 25th year of operations in Ireland where the company has shown commitment to research, development and innovation as well as to business and employment in Ireland. Big Red Book were also repeat winners for Best Accountancy Software for SMEs.

Businessman of the Year was awarded to Christoph Mueller, CEO of Aer Lingus. Mueller was chosen for his display of commendable business acumen in the face of adversity, guiding his company through a difficult and challenging restructuring process. Mueller accepted the award on behalf of the entire Aer Lingus team. “The workings of an airline are the absolute exemplification of teamwork,” he said. “You cannot achieve anything alone in our business.”

Louise Phelan of PayPal scooped the Businesswoman of Year accolade for guiding her company through one of the most challenging economic periods in Irish history and for securing significant jobs and investment in Ireland. Commenting on her award Phelan said “It's a great honour. It's up to publications like InBusiness to celebrate Businesswoman of the Year; because for every woman that makes it to the top of her game, we get that bit closer to changing the status quo.”

Other winners on the day included eircom, who scooped the coveted Company of the Year award.
