“These entries range from small enterprise to large corporate businesses in the county.
“As a not-for-profit organisation, this work and the organisation and funding of these awards would not be possible without the support of our sponsors and our corporate members.
“And we would like to pay tribute to all of them.

DLR Chamber will be celebrating 80 years in 2019 and the fact that it is one of the oldest chambers in Ireland.
It is affiliated to Chambers Ireland and represents the full county area.
DLR Chamber consists of a  very strong, diverse and gender-balanced board, a fact that the members are particularly proud of.
Following 10 years of organising the very successful EnviroCom Awards, DLR Chamber felt that their awards needed to be more all-embracing to businesses in the county to celebrate the strength of the very diverse business community in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown.
