Ministerial Endorsement

Speaking at the event, Alastair Ross MLA said: "It has been the drive, ambition and innovative nature of our entrepreneurs and businesses that has been integral in getting the local economy on the road to recovery. The trading environment over the last few years has not been easy so I am particularly heartened by the success stories of these firms and their tenacity to push through this rough period into the positive business environment that is currently emerging.

"To continue to grow our economy, we must help more businesses to be export-led and internationally competitive.  I am encouraged by the contribution made by both InterTradeIreland and the companies here today in striving to achieve this goal."


The Web Bureau, Belfast

Companies that were commended at the event included The Web Bureau, an award winning web design and digital marketing company based in Belfast, which has successfully delivered solutions to public and private organisations across the island. The firm successfully used sales salary support from InterTradeIreland’s Acumen programme to employ a full time sales person to target new clients in the southern market. As a result the company has been able to boost cross-border sales by approximately 14% and grow its team significantly.

InterTradeIreland, proud of new Ambassadors

Also speaking at the event, Margaret Hearty, Director of programmes and business services at InterTradeIreland said: “We have supported businesses from a diverse range of sectors right across Northern Ireland, in every county and constituency and we are extremely proud of their achievements. These firms represent many of Northern Ireland’s most resilient and ambitious SMEs that are a testament of what can be achieved through enterprise and innovation. It is important that we recognise their success which we hope in turn will inspire other businesses to seek the support needed to develop and take their business to the next level.
