ANOTHER Donegal company has picked up a National Enterprise Award, marking the second consecutive year a business from the county has triumphed at the ceremony in Dublin’s Mansion House.
Based in Quigley’s Point, Living Green, supported by the Local Enterprise Office, is an established business offering diverse, environmentally conscious, and health enhancing products that promote sustainable living and healthy choices.
With the distinction of being the largest worm farm in Ireland and the UK, Living Green has solidified its reputation as pioneers in this field. As the sole manufacturer of Certified Organic Wormcast and Certified Organic Compost in Ireland, Living Green impressed judges with their dedication to producing top-quality peat-free compost.
Picking up the Green Sustainability Award on behalf of Living Green, Neil Crossan, said, “It was an honour to represent our county, and to get the win is extra special. We’ve been in business for over twenty years, and Local Enterprise Office team has always been very supportive in helping us to grow and scale our business.”
Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Cllr Martin Harley, stated, ‘’It’s fantastic to see a Donegal business recognised nationally for their hard work and growth over time and generations. Neil Crossan and his team at Living Green are a credit to themselves, their community and Donegal as a whole.’’
Congratulating the team on the win, Brenda Hegarty, Head of Enterprise Donegal, said, “Living Green is an excellent example of a family-run, sustainability-minded business that has grown steadily across many years, creating employment locally and embracing innovation to build an international business from Donegal.”
The overall winner at the National Enterprise Awards was Dreamdev Technologies who are supported by Local Enterprise Office Kildare. Last year, Donegal’s Patrick McLaughlin of Silver Strand Rope Works also picked up a National Enterprise Award.
