Group launches awards aimed at celebrating role of small business

The Small Firms’ Association launched its business awards yesterday aiming to celebrate the achievements of small business in Ireland.

The awards were launched by Taoiseach Enda Kenny who said that small business make a vital contribution and are key to the creation of jobs.

“Supporting job creation is the absolute top priority of the Government. As everyone knows, the Government cannot create jobs, only successful businesses and entrepreneurs can do that, and I am happy to support the SFA awards which recognise the special contribution made by the small business sector,” he said.
