The shortlist for the 2020 EY Entrepreneur of the Year awards has been announced with a total of 24 finalists selected from across the island of Ireland. Mackin CEO, Andy Mackin is one of those shortlisted, whittled down from more than 100 nominations by an independent judging panel.

EY Entrepreneur of the Year is a unique global program that supports and recognises entrepreneurial achievement among individuals and companies that demonstrate vision, leadership and success. Now in its 23rd year, the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Ireland Awards programme works to recognise, promote and build a supportive community around Ireland’s high-growth entrepreneurs.

Finalists will compete across three categories – Emerging, Industry and International, with one overall winner selected as The EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2020 in November.

“I am absolutely thrilled to have made the finals of the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2020” says Andy. “It is such an amazing honour for both myself and all of the team at Mackin and to have the opportunity to be working with a company such as EY is incredible. The EY programme closely aligns with my values and goals as it is passionate about promoting entrepreneurship and empowering business owners to grow their business in Ireland and globally. I am looking forward to a successful year of growth, both as an individual and as a company and I just can’t wait to see what the rest of 2020 brings.”

Good luck Andy!
