Newbridge Silverware has been nominated for Website of the Year, Newbridge-based McCullagh Digital is up for Small Business Website of the Year and Gastro Life, which has a clinic in Naas, is in the running for E-Commerce Business of the Year.

Digital Business Ireland launched the organisation’s fifth Digital Awards in October in order to recognise the best digital, ecommerce and innovation businesses in Ireland while celebrating talent across the industry.

This year’s esteemed judging panel were tasked with identifying five finalists across 16 categories including websites, innovation and people, following several hundred submissions.

The finalists will now be invited to make a further submission to the judges which will be considered in February by the judging panel made up of experts from across the digital sector including Caroline Dunlea of Core Optimisation, Victor Timon of Byrne Wallace, Ashley McDonnell of Puig, and others.

Chairperson of Digital Business Ireland, Caroline Dunlea said: “The Irish business community is relentless in its pursuit to reinvent and deliver solutions for their customers, while moving our economy forward. They have a remarkable ability to adapt, pivot and innovate in a changing world. This proved to be very inspiring to all the judging panel.” The winners will then be announced at a supper and prosecco reception on the evening of 27 March 2025, at TwentyTwo, in Dublin 2.
