Blacknight Sponsors 2015 SME Awards – Finalists Announced
Blacknight to provide free tickets for finalists
Blacknight are sponsoring the 2015 SME awards and are pleased to announce that they will provide two tickets for each finalist.
The SME Awards will take place on April 25, 2015 at the Radisson Hotel in Cork.
Mulley Communications, the team who operate the successful Web Awards and Social Media Awards have launched the 2015 SME Awards as an informal, fun, transparent event that invites the public to be involved in the judging. Any SME can enter the awards for free, however sponsors may not be nominated in any category and can’t influence judging.
Blacknight are showing their love for SMEs by sponsoring the 2015 SME Awards and providing each finalist with two tickets to the awards show. Blacknight are delighted to have such great companies enter the competition and want to do what they can to make sure the finalists can attend. The ceremony is intended as an evening away from looking after a small to medium enterprise and to celebrate the hard work of the nominees throughout the year.
Blacknight will sponsor the awards show and also provide the Web Hosting and act as SSL Supplier. Damien Mulley, SME Awards organizer states: “We're thrilled that Blacknight are headline sponsors as they're theperfect example of what many Irish SMEs want to strive to be. Acompany that started off as a two-person operation and within a fewyears has nearly 40 staff and is a global brand. To top it all off they'renow supporting Irish companies so that some of them could become "the next Blacknight.”
Michele Neylon, CEO of Blacknight states: “We are honoured to be the headline sponsor of the first SME Awards. Everyone at Blacknight believes very strongly in the importance of recognising the hard work of individuals struggling to build a successful business day in and day out. We know first hand the kind of work it takes to make something like this happen and look forward to helping Mulley Communications throw an unforgettable party.”
