Standún, the cherished family-owned Irish business renowned for its unique blend of traditional and contemporary retail offerings across fashion, homewares and gifting, is thrilled to announce their success at the prestigious Family Business Awards this year.
The Standún team proudly took home the Longevity Award, celebrating the company’s steadfast commitment to quality, family values, and deep-rooted community ties. In a world where statistics show that only 3% of businesses make it to third generation ownership, this proves a powerful testament to the legacy of this multi-generational family business.
Standún has become an Irish institution, beloved by customers worldwide for its thoughtful curation of Irish crafts, Aran knitwear, gifts, and clothing. This award recognises Standún’s enduring presence in Ireland’s retail sector and celebrates its adaptability through the years in an ever-evolving market landscape.
Standún was nominated for three prominent awards, including Small Business of the Year, Retail & Wholesale Business of the Year, and The Longevity Award. Their win builds on the company’s momentum from 2023 when they were awarded Best Small Business of the Year. The recognition at this year’s awards underscores the business’s dedication to heritage, resilience, and its sustained impact on both local and national levels.
Commenting on the win, Cliona Standún, Managing Director and third generation owner said winning the Longevity Award is an honour that resonates deeply with her team and family.
“Standún has been a labour of love for generations, and this award is a recognition of our commitment to excellence, community, and the spirit of Irish heritage. We are incredibly grateful to the Family Business Awards for this acknowledgment and extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal customers, without whom our journey would not be possible.”
