Celebrating Our Bronze Award at the Family Business Awards 2025

We are thrilled to share that Hygeia has been honoured with the Bronze Award for Longevity at this year’s Family Business Awards. To be recognised among so many outstanding family-run enterprises from across Ireland is a truly proud moment for us.

The ceremony was a memorable occasion, celebrating generations of families who have built, nurtured, and grown their businesses with dedication and passion. As Jill Thornton, Head of Events at the Family Business Awards, beautifully expressed:

“What a meaningful day celebrating the heart of our communities, Irish family businesses. Their passion, resilience, and innovation deserve every bit of recognition. Honouring their legacy is what the Family Business Awards are all about.”

Founded in 1939 by the Coyle family in Galway, Hygeia has been part of Ireland’s story for over eight decades. From our beginnings as a small, family-run business to becoming a trusted name across the country, our journey has always been guided by the same principles — quality, innovation, and care for our customers and communities.

This award is a wonderful recognition of our longevity, but more importantly, it celebrates the people behind Hygeia — our dedicated team, our loyal customers, and everyone who has supported us along the way. Your belief in us has helped carry our family values through generations and continues to inspire everything we do.

Congratulations to all the inspiring winners and nominees who continue to strengthen the heart of the Irish economy through their family businesses. We are proud to stand alongside you in celebrating the passion, resilience, and innovation that make Irish family enterprises so special.

Here’s to the next chapter of Hygeia’s story — honouring our past, embracing the present, and looking forward to a bright, sustainable future.
