NearForm was named Overall Waterford Business of the Year at the Waterford Business Awards this lunchtime by Mayor of Waterford City & County, Cllr Damien Geoghegan, during a live virtual awards ceremony.
The multi-national company also picked up the Technology & Innovation of the Year award during the streamed event and is the second time the Tramore-based company has won the top prize, collecting it first back in 2016.
NearForm is one of the biggest success stories to come out of Waterford, if not Ireland, during Covid 19, having created the tracker app, which is now being used globally. Just last week, the company secured a multi-million euro investment from Columbia Capital, which will be used to scale up operations and accelerate recruitment in sales, marketing, engineering and design, across North America and Europe.

A WATERFORD primary school principal has said that are “very excited” about re-opening from next Monday but has warned parents that vigilance is needed at all times to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Brid Golden, principal of St John Of God National School in the city, said the last six or seven weeks has been very difficult for parents, pupils and for teaching staff and she was “welcoming” the return to school of junior infants through to second class from next Monday.
However, she also said there were a lot of “unknowns” at the moment regarding the new variants of Covid in circulation and the last thing anybody wanted was further school closures in the future.
