Judge-Mentors

A message from Kieran F.Ring - CEO, Global Institute of Logistics, Deputy Chair of the Adjudication Panel

"The All-Star Accreditation empowers Irish businesses to distinguish themselves as enterprises of excellence and as a result sets them apart from their competitors, giving customers, vendors and employees alike the reassurance that the company they are associated with has met and exceeded the highest standard, All-Star."

Advisory Panel


The Foundation is led by an advisory board made up of a panel of respected and experienced leaders from industry and academics.

The independent adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes, of the Kemmy Business School at the University of Limerick and Kieran F. Ring, CEO of the Global Institute. The Chairs are supported by a panel of industry experts who volunteer a significant amount of their time to facilitate the judging process and provide entrants with feedback. The appointment of judge-mentor is made by the Foundation Program Directors and Chair of Judges.

A special thanks to our mentors, adjudicators, advisors and subject matter experts who have played an instrumental part in the development of the All-Ireland Business Foundation. Your guidance, contribution towards our activities and support has been invaluable.
