The 2018 competition marks the 20th year of the national network of Local Enterprise Offices supporting entrepreneurial activity in Ireland.
The awards recognise and celebrate small business success stories nationwide and were held during a week of local enterprise events in every county.
In addition to enjoying significant media coverage and prestige for graduating from a rigorous judging process and criteria set, finalists compete for a €41,000 prize fund.
HRLocker CEO Adam Coleman was delighted to receive the runner’s up award in his HR software company’s home county of Clare from Minister of State for Trade, Employment, Business, EU Digital Single Market and Data Protection Pat Breen TD.
