The first Irish Auto Trade Awards were presented in 2014, since then they have grown to be very much appreciated.

After the 2019 presentations (2020 Awards), it was decided to not present awards during and in the aftermath to Covid. This year (2024) they have been revived and will be presented on the Irish Auto Trade Awards stage at the Auto Trade EXPO / CV Workshop EXPO in the RDS on the weekend of October 12th-13th. Additional categories have been added to make coverage even more comprehensive. The winners will be announced at the culmination of a thorough and professional process.

It is a major task to identifying the best operators in practically all sectors of the Irish aftermarket but one that that is very worthwhile. We thank the everyone from the auto and transport aftermarket who nominated candidates and voted in the Suppliers Awards. We also thank our judges for making sure that the process for the selection of the Regional and Overall Retail Awards is totally thorough, fair and stands up to any scrutiny is our commitment to honouring high standards.
