Kiltimagh civil engineering firm has achieved Business All-Star accreditation with the All-Ireland Business Foundation.

TA Group is a complete service provider to the civil engineering and building sector. Its founding principle is to combine innovation, quality and engineering knowledge to serve the needs of their clients and customers.

The company has been recognised with Business All-Star accreditation for their commitment to best practice in the construction sector.

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, TA Group.ie Managing Director Thomas Campbell said:

I, Thomas Campbell Director of TA Group am honoured to receive the award on behalf of the team at TA Group. The award is a recognition of the hard work and commitment that every member of the team has made, to make TA Group what it is today. The award marks a very important third party verification of approval of TA Group. It is a recognition of what we stand for, what we do and why we do. The award gives confidence to our current and further clients which help the continued development and growth of our organisation.

Deputy Chair on the Adjudication Board Kieran Ring, said in support of the announcement: “TA Group has achieved Business All-Star 2022, in recognition of the company’s commitment to the best practice in the construction sector. Furthermore, we wish to recognise TA Group.Ie’s conduct in the areas of trust, commitment, performance & customer centricity. TA Group.Ie 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.
