Five Monaghan companies have been awarded Ireland's Best Managed Companies accolade.
This year, Deloitte recognised 129 indigenous companies at the awards, representing 28 of the 32 counties across the island of Ireland.
The network of companies has a combined turnover of more than €15 billion and provide employment to over 45,000 people across a range of sectors from technology and healthcare to construction. Amongst the winning companies this year were Active8 Solar Energies, Ashdale Care and Errigal Group.
In total, five Monaghan companies awarded Ireland's Best Managed Companies accolade. Activ8 Solar Energies and Ashdale Care were recognised for the first time at the awards. Both companies achieved Ireland's Best Managed Companies accolade, while Errigal Group was a gold standard winner having won for the fourth consecutive year. The judges examine a wide range of areas when assessing Ireland's top privately-owned businesses, such as a business' environmental, social and governance standards, strategic planning and talent strategy.
Brian Murphy, Lead Partner for Ireland's Best Managed Companies Awards Programme, said: "The Irish economic growth story has been extraordinary, and we see this evidenced in the success of Irish indigenous businesses and the confidence shown by Best Managed Companies. He added that ensuring Ireland's entrepreneurs and the companies they start get the support they need to grow and scale is crucial."
