Success for SDG at AIB Business Eye Awards

The SDG team had a memorable evening at the AIB Business Eye Awards last November, scooping two of three prestigious awards.

The awards, covering 19 different categories, were presented at a stunning black-tie event in front of a 600-strong audience in the ICC, Belfast.

SDG were overjoyed to be announced as overall winners of both the ‘Small Business of the Year’ category and the ‘Outstanding Leadership & Management’ award for CEO, Louise Skeath and to be selected as finalists in the ‘Fast Growth Business of the Year’ category.

We are especially thrilled with this achievement given the record-breaking entry for the year’s awards and the steep competition amongst the categories.

The Awards are a fantastic showcase of Northern Ireland business, leaders and innovators who are driving best practice and offering inspiration to others.

Richard Buckley, Editor of Business Eye said “The awards reflect the resilience and continued commitment of Northern Ireland companies and their leadership teams to innovate and continue to succeed whatever the economic climate.”

Commenting on the achievement, CEO Louise Skeath said “I am thrilled with the recognition SDG has earned at this year’s Awards. The awards are a testament to our diligent and hardworking team who have embraced any and all challenges that come their way and support the company’s ambitious strategy for the future. My thanks to the judging panel and congratulations to all the winners and finalists”.

Commending this year’s winners, Brian Gillan, Head of Retail & NI at AIB said; “The competition grows from strength to strength every year and we offer our congratulations to all those shortlisted as well as to the overall winners. Your hard work, determination and resilience encourages others to embrace these qualities and contributes to the success of our local business community as a whole.”
