Oxigen Environmental Announced as Finalist for Guaranteed Irish Business Awards

Oxigen Environmental is delighted to announce that it has been shortlisted in two categories – Sustainability and Energy & Utilities – at the highly anticipated Guaranteed Irish Business Awards 2026.

Now in their fifth year, the annual Guaranteed Irish Business Awards shine a spotlight on Ireland's leading businesses that are committed to supporting jobs, communities and provenance, while driving innovation and positive impact across the Irish economy.

The prestigious national celebration will officially kick off the Irish business awards season with a gala event on Thursday, 5th March 2026, at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre. Hosted by radio and TV personality Marty Whelan, the green carpet event will also showcase Irish design and beauty brands.

Judges faced a tough task this year, narrowing submissions down to just 84 shortlisted companies across all categories. For 2026, two new award categories have been introduced: Guaranteed Irish Small Business of the Year and Energy & Utilities, reflecting the growing importance of sustainable growth and infrastructure in Ireland.

All categories were judged by an independent panel of distinguished industry leaders, including representatives from Matheson, An Post, Musgrave, PTSB, Viatel Technology Group, and FBD Insurance.

Bríd O'Connell, CEO of Guaranteed Irish, said:
"Now in its fifth year, the Guaranteed Irish Business Awards continues to celebrate the innovation, resilience, and trust in our eco-system. This year, with the introduction of new categories including Small Business of the Year, we are shining an even brighter spotlight on businesses that are scaling, adapting, and creating real impact in their fields amid uncertain economic times. It is more important than ever to recognise and support the companies driving progress here in Ireland, businesses whose ambition, creativity, and commitment benefit not just their industries, but the wider Irish economy and communities they serve."

Speaking on the announcement, John Doyle, Manager at Oxigen Environmental, said:

"We are delighted to be shortlisted in both the Sustainability and Energy & Utilities categories at this year's Guaranteed Irish Business Awards. This recognition belongs to our teams across the country who work every day to deliver reliable, sustainable services for our customers and communities.
