Leading the way

Honouring our 2025 Trailblazers

On Tuesday, December 16th, Abbey Quarter was filled with excitement and pride as we celebrated the 2025 Trailblazer Awards. This year, we received over 100 nominations from across the organisation, highlighting the incredible dedication and values-driven spirit of our colleagues.

Nearly 100 people attended the event in person, while over 200 tuned in online to support their teammates and celebrate together. Spirits were high as we recognised 19 outstanding finalists – comprised of six team awards and 13 individual awards – who truly exemplify what it means to live our Tirlán values.

These awards are a testament to the power of community and the impact each person can have. If you missed the celebration, you can watch the recording below.
