Founded by former naval officer Andrew Mackin, the Cork based group contains two thriving businesses: Mackin EHS – an evolution of the initial health and safety business – and Mackin Talent, a global talent solutions company with significant presence in North America, as well as offices in EMEA and APAC.

As experts in talent management and recruitment and market leaders in the environmental health and safety industry, Andy and his teams understand what it takes to create a productive and mutually beneficial workplace environment.

The team has been recognised with their 6th consecutive Business All-Star Accreditation in recognition of their conduct in the areas of trust, commitment, performance and customer-centricity.

Announcing the news of Mackin Group’s achievement, Deputy Chair of AIBF’s Adjudication Board, Kieran Ring, said:

I am delighted to recognise Mackin Group’s outstanding performance during its audit for Business All-Star accreditation. The result of the audit saw the company being accredited with Business All-Star Global-Cork
Enterprise Of The Year 2023 accreditation. This accreditation recognises Mackin Group’s conduct in the areas of trust, commitment, performance & customer centricity. Mackin Group is hereby included in the AIBF Register Of Irish Business Excellence.

Reacting to the news of his company’s achievement Andy Mackin said:

On behalf of the team here at Mackin Group I am proud to accept our sixth consecutive Business All-Star Accreditation and the title of AIBF Global-Cork Enterprise Of The Year. This prestigious accolade underlines our ongoing commitment to the very highest standards in business and represents our ambition to represent Irish entrepreneurship and industry on the global stage. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our fantastic clients and our hard working and talented teams.

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.
