Bunclody company Zeus Scooters wins the Innovator of the Year award at the Small Firms Association (SFA) National Small Business Awards. Zeus Scooters has deployed the World’s first 3-wheeled electric scooter for the urban mobility. The Awards celebrate the achievements of small businesses in Ireland and recognise the important and vital contributions of this sector to the Irish economy. Forty-five finalists and five Emerging New Businesses were selected from hundreds of applications received for the 2024 programme. Leinster Environmentals Limited was named as Overall National SFA Small Business Winner 2024.
Addressing the event, Geraldine Magnier, SFA Chair said: “I want to play tribute to our finalists for their hard work, tenacity and sacrifice to getting here tonight. Especially as small businesses endure the ongoing challenges of supply-chain uncertainty, increased input business costs and burdensome administration requirements. You are a credit to your communities and to Ireland’s economic success story..”
SFA Director, David Broderick added: “As we celebrate 20 Years of the SFA Awards we continue to grow a programme that positions the small business brand as the backbone of the Irish economy. Congratulations to all the finalists each of whom represent the very best in small business and all are winners. Small businesses are present in every village, town and city and contribute enormously to economic activity and community engagement”.
