2008
Today (7th July) the Irish Exporters Association (IEA) launched the Export Industry Awards programme for 2008.
Joe Lynch, President of the IEA stated at the Launch:
“We are pleased to see the focus back on exporting as the main game in town.
The Export Industry Awards 2008 will help remind us all of the continued success of individual exporters from Ireland despite the difficult trading conditions”
He went on to say;
“This year we have introduced a new award for County Enterprise companies, who will compete for the Emerging Exporter Award. This will enable a wide
range of companies with less than 10 employees to be recognised for their export efforts”
