The bonkers.ie National Consumer Awards 2022 will be broadcast live on YouTube at 3pm on Thursday, February 17th.
It’s become a much anticipated event in the consumer business calendar but the wait is finally over, the nominees for the bonkers.ie National Consumer Awards 2022 are officially in!
Last year due to the pandemic we were unable to hold the awards in person at our usual venue of the Mansion House so we took the awards online and broadcast a virtual ceremony from our YouTube channel.
Similar to 2021, this year’s awards ceremony will also be held online.
So, before we get to this year’s nominees, here’s a reminder of what the awards are all about!
About the awards
The bonkers.ie National Consumer Awards is an annual awards ceremony all about celebrating companies that provide exceptional value and service to customers in Ireland.
The awards are now an established part of the business calendar in Ireland and each year attract leading representatives from some of the country’s best-known companies as well as members of the media, politicians and special guests.
Despite the pandemic we’re delighted to be able to present the sixth annual awards ceremony, with comedian and podcaster Jarlath Regan assuming hosting duties for his second year.
This year there are over 15 award categories across a variety of sectors such as banking, energy, communications and insurance.
So, without further ado, here is the shortlist of companies nominated for an award this year, broken down by individual category.
