“In recent years TCH, headed by Anthony Dinan, has achieved many high accolades in recognition of the company’s progressive approach to business and management,” he said.

The media group was Cork Chamber of Commerce Company of the Year in 2001. TCH, owners of the Irish Examiner, has expanded rapidly in recent years acquiring the Sunday Business Post and a number of major regional titles throughout the country.
