Proud to be among Northern Ireland’s elite at the prestigious 2025 Belfast Telegraph Business Awards

Last Thursday was a night to remember as our team attended the prestigious Belfast Telegraph Business Awards in partnership with Ulster Bank at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Belfast, hosted by BBC journalist Mark Simpson.

Bennett Freehill was thrilled to be shortlisted in two categories – Best Small Business of the Year and Excellence in the Development of Management & Leadership.

While we didn’t take home a trophy this time, being recognised alongside Northern Ireland’s most innovative and successful companies was truly a privilege. The evening was filled with fun, inspiration and connections and was a celebration of business excellence across our region.

Mark Crimmins, head of Ulster Bank in Northern Ireland, said: “Once again, the Belfast Telegraph Business Awards in partnership with Ulster Bank was a fantastic showcase for our local business community and highlighted the breadth of talent, resilience and innovation of business owners across the region. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, you should be very proud of your achievements, and we look forward to following your continued achievements in the future.”

A huge congratulations to all the winners and fellow nominees! The calibre of talent and achievement in the room was extraordinary.
