Today more than ever it's important to stand out in a way that not only gets you in front of your ideal audience but also allows you to illustrate the value you bring to the marketplace. On top of that, social proof, third-party verification and trust are some of the most valuable currencies in business. Business All-Stars celebrates your business success and entrepreneurship in a way that positio

ns your business, your product or service as best-in-class all of which builds more trust, more authority and credibility than you could ever do on your own.

Our existing All-Stars have reported more recognition, more exposure and more bottom-line return on investment results from becoming an All-Star than any other revenue-producing activity they’ve done. Our All-Star Business accreditation process not only gives you a snapshot of everything you’ve achieved so far but also gives a clear indication of what you need to do to scale your business to the next level. Becoming an All-Star also enables you to showcase (and retain) your best employees while also enabling you to attract the best talent in the marketplace. Finally, entrepreneurship can be a lonely place regardless of how big your team or business may be. Our All-Stars become a part of our growing community and TRIBE of All-Stars all of whom are forward-thinking, optimistic and open to new business opportunities and growth.

✔️ The next All-Stars accreditation programme is getting started.

🏑 With Cork set to clash with Tipperary this Sunday, things are getting heated at AIBF HQ, especially with our CEO Elaine Carroll backing the Premier County!

But even Elaine might tip her hat to these from Cork…

🌟 Burgolarm Security Products Ltd has been officially recognised as the Business All-Star Cork Family Business of the Year 2025!

Led by General Manager John McLaughlin, this family-run firm has spent over 40 years securing homes and businesses with precision, pride, and people-first service. From their roots in Cork, they’ve become a trusted name in security - no need for helmets, just high standards.

👏 Congrats to the Burgolarm team and welcome to the AIBF TRIBE - and best of luck to both counties this weekend (we promise we’re neutral… kind of).
