THREE Limerick based entrepreneurs have made the final shortlist for this year’s EY Entrepreneur of the year.
Paddy Finn of Electricity Exchange and PJ Flanagan of H&MV Engineering Limited and Vicki O’Toole of JJ O’Toole Ltd are among those shortlisted from Limerick.
The Limerick trio join the 21 other finalists in the 2018 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Ireland programme.
Collectively, the finalists employ more than 2,700 people and generate annual revenues of €150m. The finalists will compete across three categories – Emerging, Industry and International, with one winner being chosen as The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2018.
The shortlist, including the three Limerick entrepreneurs was whittled down from 110 nominations received from across the island of Ireland by an independent judging panel of previous winners, chaired by Anne Heraty, CEO of CPL Resources Plc, and winner of the 2006 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year award.
This year’s finalists will join more than 70 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni for a week of executive education and exclusive corporate insights in Oxford and London in May.
