Wexford has finalists across four different categories, highlighting the range of creative and entrepreneurial businesses operating in the county.

In the Beauty category, Wexford is represented by Doctrine, Holos Skincare and Celtic Strand.

Sarah Foy Couture and The Linen Shirt Company have both been shortlisted in the Fashion category.

Arona Natural Fragrance is among the finalists in the Sustainable category, while ealu has been shortlisted for Wellness.

Presented by Irish Country Magazine, the Irish Made Awards celebrate Irish craftsmanship, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship and are marking their tenth anniversary this year.

More than 120 finalists from around the country will compete across categories including food, fashion, beauty, wellness, jewellery, home, sustainability and retail.

Irish Country Magazine Editor Niamh Devereux said the awards had spent the past decade telling the stories of Irish businesses built on “ambition, resilience, creativity, family, tradition and innovation.”

A new Rising Star Award is also being introduced this year to recognise emerging Irish-made businesses with strong values and growth potential.

The Irish Made Awards 2026 will take place at The Johnstown Estate in County Meath on Wednesday, September 30th, when the category winners and overall winner will be announced.
