This quarter’s editorial of EU Business News Magazine covers a wide range of businesses, individuals, and teams who deliver excellence throughout everything they do. From sustainable infrastructure to food and drink, BioTech to tyre retailers, and more, this quarter we celebrate a very diverse and dedicated selection of award winners.
It has been an excellent year for many so far, and the businesses we are spotlighting are true examples of the success which 2025 has seen over the last four months. In addition to the years of success, growth, and resilience throughout the years gone by, our winners have shown no signs of slowing for the future to come.
From political consultancy and advocacy to road security and eco-friendly cleaning product manufacturing to digital law, this small yet mighty issue sees companies awarded for their ingenious solutions, dedication to their customers, and a commitment to staying ahead of the curve.
Here we are, three-quarters of the way through 2024, and the European market is as vibrant as ever, with its myriad of exciting cultures and economies that come with their own unique difficulties and advantages for businesses. The EU is made up of approximately 450 million people, with a GDP of around €15 trillion, and it has the great benefit of being able to freely transfer goods, services, and capital across national borders.
As we delve into our first issue of 2024, we hope that businesses across the continent have had a prosperous start to the new year. As always, we are delighted to be bringing you some inspiration in the form of the very best that European business has to offer, celebrating the achievements of those who not only excel in their respective fields but also continue to set new standards for innovation.
Our outstanding award-winning businesses featured in this issue are the experts, and they are thriving, whether delivering beautiful, fresh wedding flower arrangements; providing the magical destination for an unforgettable Icelandic escape; offering a sensational range of global travel experiences; encouraging individuals to look after themselves and the planet by travelling by bicycle; and more.
But despite the challenging circumstances, European businesses are defying the odds with their resilience and hard work. Over 99% of these are SMEs (small to medium enterprises) and they are the backbone of the European economy, with their contributions towards job creation, innovation, and economic growth being truly invaluable.
Our award-winning businesses are dedicated to innovation, growth, and providing only the best products and services to their customers – no matter what. In this issue, we showcase businesses operating in procurement management, laboratory chemicals, roofing repair, and sustainable electricity, each of whom have worked so hard to get to where they are today and who are highly deserving of recognition.
We have settled into 2023 and are now inching into February, with spring starting to appear on the horizon – the season for new beginnings and hope. The ‘new year, new me’ phase may have ended for many, but those in the world of business know exciting opportunities will keep coming, just as surely as the evenings will get lighter, the daffodils will bloom, and the temperatures will grow warmer.
