Westmeath Business, Oliver Conroy Pallets, has marked its 70th anniversary by achieving Business All-Star Accreditation for a third consecutive year.

Oliver Conroy Pallets is a family business built on excellence, high-quality products and superb customer service.

Seventy years in business, the company is a leading supplier of wooden and heat-treated pallets in Ireland and the UK.

Business All-Star Accreditation recognises Oliver Conroy Pallets’ 70 years of excellence in the packaging supply industry.

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, Oliver Conroy Pallets Business Manager Tracy Leogue said:

“The Oliver Conroy team is proud to announce that we have achieved Business All-Star Accreditation for the third consecutive year. This achievement is a fantastic way to mark our 7oth year in business and it underlines the dedication to quality that has made us a household name in our industry. We are proud to display the AIBF marque and we look forward to continuing our pursuit of excellence in the next 70 years.”

Deputy Chair on the Adjudication Board Kieran Ring, said in support of the announcement: “Oliver Conroy Pallets has Achieved AIBF Business All-Star Accreditation 2022, in recognition of the company’s celebration of its 70th anniversary. Oliver Conroy pallets is hereby included in the AIBF Register Of Irish Business Excellence for a third successive year.”

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.
