The awards programme recognises companies each year across the island of Ireland that demonstrate superior business performance. Winning companies can requalify for a further two years and then have the opportunity to apply for the Gold Standard Award in the fourth year. Winners that maintain Best Managed status for seven consecutive years are awarded Platinum membership.
