Kildare’s ‘Businesswoman of the Year’ to be announced 

THE Tulfarris Hotel in Blessington will host a celebration of the women in business in Co. Kildare on June 13.

Network Ireland Businesswoman of the Year Awards are designed to recognise the achievements of the talented women in Co. Kildare.

The awards are divided into eight categories, including solo business woman, STEM, Emerging Business woman, Networker of the Year.

There are also two categories for employees - Employee Rising Star and Shining Star - so there is a category suitable for all women in every type of business.

This year, 42 women applied and were interviewed by a panel of business experts who will choose the winner of each category.

Those winners from Kildare will go forward to represent their branch at a national level in their category in September.

The Network Ireland Kildare Awards play a vital role in boosting the local economy by spotlighting innovative, women-led businesses that create jobs and drive growth. 

By recognising their achievements, the awards increase visibility and awareness of female entrepreneurs across the county. 

The awards are more than just a business event, it’s a celebration of community pride, resilience, and the powerful ripple effect of women supporting women.

It’s a black-tie event and a chance to reconnect, meet new members and celebrate together.

If you are a female business owner or employee and looking to grow your professional network, Network Kildare are welcoming new members at present.

It will also give you the opportunity to participate in the awards next year. Send an email to Denise at kildaremembership@networkireland.ie to find out how you can access networking, mentoring, and meeting other professionals and women in business.
