Last year’s winner in
this category, Christy Lynch of Efficient Plumbing
and Heating, said the cash prize was a fantastic
help to their business.
He said the money helped him to attend more trade
shows and do more marketing.
“Sometimes an established business might think that
it’s too time consuming to enter a contest like
this, but if you take the time it can be very
rewarding," he said.
A €10,000 investment prize is also available for the
best start-up.
More details are available from the Donegal Local
Enterprise Office on 07491 60735. Applications can
also be made online at
