Finders International’s Irish office has been awarded an All-Ireland Business Foundation (AIBF) All-Star Accreditation.

The All-Ireland Business Foundation (AIBF) is an autonomous national accreditation body that encourages enterprise development through the promotion of Best-in-Class in Irish business.

The Business All-Star Accreditation is an independently verified standard mark for indigenous businesses, based on rigorous selection criteria.

Adjudication panel

The adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes of the University of Limerick and Kieran Ring, CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics.

Companies are qualified for accreditation by completing an enterprise audit and are identified by their use of the AIBF’s Business All-Star Marque. The accreditation is now held by more than 500 firms in Ireland.

The AIBF evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and its adjudicators speak to customers, employees and vendors. The AIBF also anonymously approaches the company as a customer and reports back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics.
