The 2023 Carrick Business Excellence Awards have been launched to recognise business excellence throughout the Carrickfergus area.

Hosted by the Carrick Times with special thanks to Mid & East Antrim Borough Council, these prestigious awards regularly welcome more than 100 attendees who come together to network and celebrate the vital role they play in the economic success of the region.

The awards, normally held every two years, were last staged in Carrick in 2021 with a glittering night of celebration brought together a wide variety of representatives of the business community.

It couldn’t be easier to nominate your favourite business – or even your own - for an award. Just go to the official awards website www.carrickbusinessawards.co.uk and check through the various categories to see which is most appropriate. You can submit your entry online too via the same website, where you can also find more details and how to book tickets for the gala awards ceremony.

The 10 award categories cover all aspects of business and industry, giving the opportunity to enter a maximum of two categories, and the judging process will be carried out by an independent judging panel.

Anyone can submit an entry regardless of whether they are an owner, employee or satisfied customer, and live or work in the greater Carrick area.

By entering, businesses will not only have the opportunity to gain recognition and publicity for their achievements but also the opportunity to boost staff morale, company image and customer confidence.

The Carrickfergus Business Awards 2023 will take place at a prestigious black tie dinner and awards ceremony on Thursday, November 30 at Carrickfergus Golf Club. Guests will enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, three-course gala dinner, entertainment and of course the awards themselves, which promise to have the audience on their feet as we celebrate the very best of Carrick businesses in 2023.

Nominations are now invited for the 2023 Carrick Business Awards.

Carrick Business Awards: who were this year’s winners?

The Carrick Times would like to thank principal sponsors Mid and East Antrim Borough Council and our category sponsors whose generous support has made the staging of this event possible.
