Join Us for a Night of Excellence: The Irish Steel Awards 2025 Gala!

Following the tremendous success of previous years, and building on record entries, the 2025 Irish Steel Awards Gala promises to be our most prestigious event yet. This is more than just an awards ceremony; it's a premier gathering of the industry's finest – a night to honour the fabricators, manufacturers, designers, engineers, and visionary leaders who are truly shaping Ireland's built environment and driving our industry forward.

More Than Just Awards – It's Our Industry's Premier Get-Together!
