2007 Cheltenham Irish SME Sponsorship Award

Cheltenham Racecourse, in association with Anglo Irish Bank, are sponsors of this prestigious award, targeted at Irish small and medium-sized companies with a turnover of between €2 million and €50 million. Now in its third year, the Award is designed to benefit Irish businesses so that they can enjoy significant exposure to both Irish and UK audiences at one of the UK's most prestigious racecourses. Entrants were judged not only on their vision for the future of their company but also on their flair in exploiting the unique opportunity for their own title race at the final major meeting of the 2006-07 season.

Cooley Distillery were awarded the top prize. Alternatives were delighted to be nominated runners-up in this highly contested award.
