MRANI AWARDS NOMINATIONS 2023 CLOSED!
MRANI Awards is pleased to launch the nominations process for our next awards ceremony.
Business owners and individuals across Northern Ireland are now being invited to enter what could become the premier event on the business calendar, the MRA NI Awards.
The awards celebrate the high-performing, diverse and exciting range of businesses that make up the further integration of minority business owners and contribute to the country’s economy, from manufacturers to retailers, restaurateurs to technology firms, and everything in between.
MRA NI black tie awards ceremony will take place in October 2023 and will be compered by one of the nation’s favorite radio presenters.
NI is home to many companies that not only contribute to the economy but whose success makes a significant impact on the overall economic prosperity of Northern Ireland. Many of us have come from very difficult backgrounds.
It is so important to recognise and support the tremendous achievements of these Minority businesses, many of whom have gone through so much for their integration and are still not recognised in the country.
