This year has been like no other and for Business Cork, our annual awards event The Rémy Martin Cork Business Awards is not taking place this year due to Covid-19. We are replacing it with The Exceptional 200 of 2020. This is all about acknowledging 200 exceptional Cork people and Cork businesses that made a difference to Cork life this year by doing something that helped others and providing a service that went beyond the expectation. Many businesses had to pivot, upscale or change direction completely and this is no mean feat, given the rapid ascension of the virus onto our lives.
We recognise that there are many people and businesses that deserve recognition and in calling for the public to nominate their choices, here is the list of The Exceptional 200 of 2020. Congratulations and thank you for anything that you have done this year that has made a difference. It is always by supporting one another and Cork that we all benefit and for 202. Our team looks forward to being back with The Rémy Martin Cork Business Awards 2021 in November 2021
