On Friday, 27th September 2024, the team at Rare Irish Casks had the privilege of attending the prestigious Signature Awards 2024 at the iconic London Hilton on Park Lane. The event brought together some of the UK’s most talented entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators, and we were thrilled to be part of this remarkable celebration.

Representing Rare Irish Casks were our co-founder Jas Dulay, ambassador Mark Lonergan, who flew in from Ireland on the day of the event, and two other key members of our team, Adam from Sales and Ray Ingram from our Compliance department.
As proud sponsors of the event, Jas Dulay and Mark Lonergan had the honour of joining the stage to present the Excellence in Real Estate / Architecture Award to Blue Alpine. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees—your dedication to driving innovation and success within your industries was truly inspiring.
The evening was filled with valuable networking opportunities, as we connected with like-minded business professionals and entrepreneurs from across the UK. It was a fantastic platform for fostering new relationships and exchanging ideas, allowing us to gain deeper insights into the trends shaping the future of business.
A major highlight of the evening was the keynote speech by Matt Fiddes, who shared his incredible journey in an insightful and fascinating interview. His words resonated with the entire audience, offering a glimpse into the mindset of a successful entrepreneur and the importance of perseverance.
The culinary experience was nothing short of amazing, with award-winning restaurant Madhus providing an exceptional menu that elevated the event. Their dishes were a perfect complement to the evening’s atmosphere of celebration and sophistication.
The official charity of the night, Hope Against Cancer, also made a profound impact by raising awareness and much-needed funds for their important work in cancer research. It was a reminder of the incredible contributions being made by organisations and individuals working tirelessly to make a difference.

We’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ninder Johal DL Johal for organising such a phenomenal event, and to the talented host Tommy Sandhu, whose energy and humor kept the night flowing smoothly. Your contributions ensured that the evening was truly memorable.
As we reflect on the Signature Awards 2024, we are proud to have been part of a celebration that highlights the incredible talent and entrepreneurial spirit driving the UK business community forward. From inspiring speeches to impactful networking moments, the night was filled with standouts that will continue to inspire us in the months to come.
We look forward to participating in next year’s event and celebrating even more achievements and successes. Until then, here’s to the power of innovation, connection, and the pursuit of excellence in all that we do!
