The Rémy Martin Men of the Year Awards 2025 lit up the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Cork on 23rd May, for a wonderful night where we recognised those leading the way in their respective fields, promoting positive change, and inspiring others.
Hosted by the dynamic duo Lisa Cannon and Deric Ó hArtagáin, it was an unforgettable night of fun, networking, and celebration with 30 wonderful men awarded for their innovation, talent, and dedication.
From red carpet moments to fun on the dance-floor, it was a truly wonderful beginning to our now annual awards night – made possible by all of our amazing attendees. It was such an honour to not only meet each of you, but to see new friendships and partnerships blossom as a result of the event.
A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors who helped make the night so special: Mercedes-Benz Cork, Big White Rabbit, and Wines of the World.
🎁 Special thanks as well to:
– Maureen Roe for allowing us to share a limited edition series of her wonderful piece ‘The Lake Isle of Innisfree’ with each of our guests.
🍸 And of course, to Barry & Fitzwilliam and Rémy Martin for adding flavour and sparkle to the celebration.
We are so grateful for your support in making the Rémy Martin Men of the Year Awards 2025 an unforgettable night.
