The most prestigious event in the local business calendar, the awards recognise the talent and entrepreneurship that exists across the full range of business and commerce in the area.

Hosted by the Larne Times, the awards pay homage to the long history of individual and collective industry upon which local towns have taken root and flourished and the companies which carry on that tradition today.
