Speaking about the recognition, Peter McCarthy (pictured), Enet Group CEO, said: “We are delighted to feature on the EBAs’ ‘Ones to Watch’ list. At Enet we strive to put our customers at the forefront of everything we do. When we innovate, it’s for the customer and to make things better, cheaper, or more efficient for them. As a wholesaler, we don’t compete with our customers and indeed we only succeed when our customers succeed. We’re proud to have that commitment to innovation and customer service recognised by the EBAs, and be listed alongside some terrific companies in Ireland and across Europe.”

The talent and tenacity at the heart of these businesses creates jobs and drives Europe’s prosperity.
