2021 National Enterprise Awards Overall Winner
The 2021 National Enterprise Awards took place on Thursday 11th February 2021 to recognise local enterprise across Ireland.
The virtual ceremony was presented live from the Mansion House where winners were announced by the Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail Damien English.
Over the course of the event, category winners were selected which culminated in the announcement that Bevcraft Group had been awarded the top prize as the Overall Winners.
The Bevcraft Group is a ‘craft can’ business established in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath in 2016. Bevcraft provide a mobile contract canning service where they transport a canning line, experienced crew, testing equipment and branded cans to breweries for each production run.
In a single day they will convert several thousand litres of beer into pallets of multipack stock ready for distribution and retail. This allows breweries to get their product onto shelves and into export markets whilst focusing on the quality of the product itself rather than the packaging process.
As producers get bigger Bevcraft offer leased lines, branding, wholesale and support options. Bevcraft works closely with both Crown Bevcan and Can Pack.
Increasing Scale
Bevcraft now have 12 canning lines which makes Bevcraft one of the largest ‘craft can business’ in Europe with two facilities in Ireland (Mullingar), two in the UK (Merseyside & Cambridgeshire) and one in Breda in the Netherlands.
This year Bevcraft will handle in the region of 50m cans across its service lines and expects headcount to grow to between 25-30 people over the coming 18mts.
Growth in Irish Craft Beer
The craft beer sector across Europe has grown rapidly over the last decade, although Covid-19 restrictions have markedly changed the operating environment, particularly for route to market via the hospitality. Within Ireland there are an estimated 1,000 people now employed across the wider sector.
Winning a national enterprise award is a great achievement and reflects the effort that goes into building a successful business. It is also interesting to see how strong ideas, consistent work, and good customer relationships can help a company stand out in a competitive market. Managing those different areas requires practical skills, and a commerical manager can develop relevant knowledge through the College of Contract Management. Recognition like this shows how steady effort and effective business management can contribute to long-term success.
Revising gcse language techniques can be useful when preparing for English Language assessments, particularly when analysing unfamiliar texts. Understanding common techniques makes it easier to recognise patterns in word choices, sentence structures, descriptions, and persuasive language. Context is also important because the same technique can create different effects depending on the subject and surrounding text. Combining technique identification with explanation of its purpose can lead to more developed responses during written assessments.
Reading through everyone's comments reminds me that career progression often happens one opportunity at a time. Gaining experience on site is important, but structured learning can also add confidence when taking on larger responsibilities. There are quite a few educational providers available, so comparing them carefully makes sense. One option I came across is the College of Contract Management, which offers programmes for construction professionals. If level 6 construction management is something you're considering, the course information could be worth reviewing alongside other available options. Hopefully it helps someone who is currently researching qualifications. I'd enjoy hearing what factors everyone considers when choosing a course.
