Another major award for Niche Specialist Staffing Partners  

Donegal business Niche Specialist Staffing Partners celebrated another milestone success when they were named regional winners at the 20th annual National Enterprise Awards in Dublin. The international recruitment firm for cosntruction estimators is owned by husband and wife team Ciara and Gareth McGlynn and they have had an astounding year in business, already scooping county and regional titles in Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur competition.  

Last week’s awards in the Mansion House in Dublin celebrated ’20 years of winners’ and honoured on the night was another Donegal business, the 2006 national winner Shaun McColgan of Modern Timberframe Homes.   Minister for Trade, Employment, Business, EU Digital Single Market and Data Protection, Pat Breen T.D. presented the awards on the night.  

The Minister said the National Enterprise Awards are a fitting way to recognise the contribution of Ireland’s most innovative, strategic and adaptive businesses, and to put their success stories into the national spotlight as an example to others.   “I would like to congratulate all the micro-enterprises and small businesses that are being celebrated here tonight.  This year’s winners, like all those in previous years, represent the backbone of Ireland’s enterprise success and contribute hugely to the economic vibrancy of their respective regions.    All this year’s finalists and winners have been supported by my Department through the Local Enterprise Office network.  I would like to pay tribute to the hard work and vision of the network, and would encourage those with business ideas to get in touch with their local office for expert guidance and advice,” the Minister added.  

Head of Enterprise in Donegal, Michael Tunney, said he was delighted to see Niche Specialist Staffing Partners take the Regional Award for Donegal, Leitrim, Longford and Sligo.   “Ciara and Gareth are very deserving winners of this award, because of the impact that they have already made on their sector. This award recognises that their services have international appeal and Local Enterprise Office, Donegal, is proud to have supported them along their journey to success,” he said.  

Local Enterprise Office Donegal is supported through co-funding from the Irish Government and the European Regional Development Fund 2014 – 2020.
