Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald hails winners at 2025 Belfast Telegraph Business Awards
Economy Minister Caoimhe Archibald has congratulated the winners of the Belfast Telegraph Business Awards in partnership with Ulster Bank for their achievements.
It was the first time that the Sinn Fein East Derry MLA had attended and addressed the prestigious event, which was marking its 25th anniversary this year with a glittering event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in south Belfast.
Ms Archibald was appointed Economy Minister in February, after serving as Finance Minister for a year in the Executive.
Speaking at the awards, she said: 'It is great to be part of this celebration of the achievements of our business community.
'These achievements are all the more remarkable given the economic challenges faced over recent years.
'I congratulate all the winners and nominees for helping to showcase the ambition, innovation and resilience that our local business community demonstrates each day.'
The awards were last year attended by her predecessor, Conor Murphy.
There were winners announced at 19 categories at the Business Awards, with Almac Group chief executive and executive chairman Alan Armstrong OBE receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Co Fermanagh glass company Encirc was named Outstanding Business of the Year after it was earlier named as Best Large Company of the Year.
