The first All-Island Octabuild Builders Merchant Excellence Awards launched for 2022

Octabuild has announced that the Octabuild Builders Merchant Excellence Awards will be an all-island competition for 2022.

Ray Molyneaux, Chairman of Octabuild said: “Following two years of unprecedented restrictions, which meant the annual Octabuild Awards had to be put on hold, we are delighted to announce that for the first time in the history of the Awards, the Octabuild Builders Merchant Excellence Awards will be an all-island competition for 2022.

Ray Molyneaux, Octabuild Chairman.

“On behalf of the eight Octabuild member companies – Dulux, Etex Ireland, Glennon Brothers, Grant Engineering, Gyproc, Irish Cement, Kingspan Insulation and Wavin Ireland, I would like to encourage merchants across the country to enter their business.”

The Awards will be open for entry from May 2nd with closing deadline of July 1st.

Categories include the overall Octabuild Award for Excellence, which is open to the winners of the Leinster, Munster, Northern Ireland and Connacht/Donegal/Monaghan/Cavan Awards for Excellence. There are also Awards for Excellence in the areas of Business Management, Customer Service, Sales & Marketing, Sustainable Business and Community Outreach, plus an opportunity to recognise up and coming talent in the industry with the Rising Star Award.

“There are many benefits in entering from enthusing and motivating staff to public recognition of your business achievements, creating marketing opportunities and boosting customer confidence,” said Ray. Entries can be made online, by email or by post from May 2nd and merchants can choose which award categories to enter. Shortlisted merchants will receive a 90 minute visit from the panel of independent judges during August/September and winners will be announced at an Awards ceremony in Dublin on Thursday, 13th October 2022.
