PREM Group held its annual PREM Ovation Awards event on May 9th in the Osprey Hotel at a lunch time gathering of nearly 100 team members. The event celebrated the many successes of the last 12 months and recognised the great contribution of teams and individuals across PREM Group businesses in Ireland. In total 36 Awards were presented in 8 categories.

Commenting after the event Jim Murphy, CEO, said “the annual awards ceremony is always a highlight of my year. It’s a great opportunity to meet with colleagues and reflect on progress in the previous 12 months or so. PREM has grown steadily from a small solid business back in the late 80s/early 90s to a company directly responsible for the employment of 800 people in five countries and with a turnover in 2022 of 81.5 million. It’s a massive success story and the result of the hard work put in by many people across all our regions – days like these are treasured moments - we have plenty to celebrate and be grateful for.”
