Tipperary-based fashion designer Heidi Higgins was among the winners at this year’s Network Ireland’s Businesswoman of the Year Awards 2023.

Ms Higgins took the award in the Creative Professional category.

The results were announced at the organisation’s annual Businesswoman of the Year Awards last Friday. Some 350 guests attended the gala ceremony which was hosted by businessman and social entrepreneur Aubrey McCarthy.

The National Business Networking Group, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, received an overwhelming response to the awards this year with 370 applications from members of all its branches.

The awards ceremony followed Network Ireland’s annual conference which was hosted by film producer, entrepreneur, human rights campaigner and former Dragon’s Den judge Norah Casey. Norah was honoured with the Trisha Murphy Memorial Award on the night.

Guests were treated to lively panel discussions around the themes of Key To Success and Celebrating Leadership.
