There is less than a week to go until the overall winner of the Westmeath Enterprise Awards for 2009 is announced .
The winners will be announced at an awards lunch taking place this Thursday, September 10 at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Athlone.
This year’s finalists from Westmeath are MOHH Academy, Athlone; Critical Healthcare Ltd, Kilbeggan; Fifth Avenue Face & Body Clinic, Mullingar; Mullingar Crystal Ltd; Mind’s I Graphic Design Ltd, Mullingar; the International College of Hair and Beauty by Mairin G, Mullingar; and Robotic & Drive Services Ltd, Mullingar.

These businesses will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of previous winners like Grouse Lodge Recording Studio Ltd., Rosemount which won first place at the coveted County & City Enterprise Boards National Enterprise Awards and went on to win joint first place in the World Young Business Achievers Awards in Bulgaria in 2004.
