Q: What is the People’s Choice Award?

The People’s Choice Award is a special category within the Irish Family Business Awards that recognizes the best family businesses in Ireland as voted by the public. It’s an opportunity for customers, clients, suppliers, and community members to show their support for their favorite family-run enterprises.
