Glin kitchens company Con Brouder Fitted Kitchens has been named AIBF All-Star Kitchen & Interiors company 2022 / 23 by the All-Ireland Business Foundation.

For the last 37 years Con Brouder Fitted Kitchens have provided a fully comprehensive and professional fitted kitchen, design, manufacture and installation service throughout all of Ireland.

The company’s fourth Business All-Star Accreditation comes in recognition of the Con Brouder team’s conduct in the areas of trust, performance & customer-centricity.

Company Director Neilus Brouder was presented with a certificate of Business All-Star Accreditation at a ceremony held at AIBF’s Munster Entrepreneurs Meet-Up in the Longcourt House Hotel on Friday the 22nd of July.

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

The Accreditation is overseen by the prestigious All-Ireland Business Foundation, whose adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes of the University of Limerick and Kieran Ring, CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics.

Reacting to the announcement, Con Brouder Fitted Kitchens Director Neilus Brouder said:

“The Con Brouder team are thrilled to announce that we have been named AIBF All-Star Kitchen & Interiors company 2022 / 23 by the All-Ireland Business Foundation. This is our fourth consecutive Business All-Star Accreditation and it comes in recognition of our conduct in the areas of trust, performance & customer-centricity. The Con Brouder team are delighted to be part of the AIBF TRIBE and proud to display the AIBF Marque as a powerful symbol of trust and quality.”

Deputy Chair on the Adjudication Board Kieran Ring, said in support of the announcement: “Con Brouder Fitted Kitchens has been named AIBF All-Star Kitchen & Interiors company 2022 / 23, In this the company’s fourth consecutive year as an All-Star. We wish to recognise Con Brouder Fitted Kitchens’ conduct in the areas of trust, commitment, performance & customer centricity. Con Brouder Fitted Kitchens is hereby included in the AIBF register of Irish business excellence.”

Managing Director of the All-Ireland Business Foundation Kapil Khanna said the accreditation, which is now held by over 500 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards but have nothing to measure them by.

He said: “We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics.”

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

The Foundation actively engages and supports its network through peer dialogue, collaboration, mentoring and enterprise development activities. Companies are qualified for accreditation by completing an enterprise audit and are identified by their use of the AIBF’s Business All-Star Marque.
