As we celebrate all that is good about being Irish this March, there’s no better time to celebrate everything that makes Ireland unique—including the businesses that power our economy and enrich our communities.

HOME is where Our Irish HEART Is

St Patrick’s Day celebrations are even more significant this year as Homevalue is proud to have achieved official Guaranteed Irish status.

Our network of over 90 family-owned, 100% Irish stores also includes an expansive online shop selling homewares, gardening, and DIY products and serving as a builder’s merchant.

Your home is our home, and home is the centre of what we do. Supporting Ireland’s local businesses, jobs, and sustainable economic growth is in our DNA.

It’s also the same year Guaranteed Irish marks its 50th anniversary, honouring a legacy of five decades supporting Irish jobs, businesses, and sustainability. Aligning with a movement that has championed Irish enterprises since 1974 makes sense to us!

What You Get With Our Guaranteed Irish Mark

The Big G symbolising our Guaranteed Irish membership isn’t just a logo we signed up for and have emblazoned on our properties—it’s a national mark of trust. Nearly 75% of Irish consumers recognise it as a stamp of approval for integrity, quality, and local contribution.

But what does it mean when you shop from a Guaranteed Irish business like Homevalue?

Being Irish at Homevalue goes beyond where we are based—it’s about what we contribute.. You can trust us to do the following.

Promoting Irish Is Part of The Package

We are also part of a movement to increase the visibility of Irish businesses at home and abroad.

One key benefit of being a Guaranteed Irish member is the organisation’s extensive promotional work on behalf of Irish businesses. As Guaranteed Irish CEO Bríd O’Connell highlights, the goal is to spread the message omnichannel!

Guaranteed Irish supports its membership of Irish Businesses through:

 🔹 Our Irish Businesses will benefit from Their Industry Research & Advocacy—A registered lobbying organisation, it works directly with the government to shape policies that benefit Irish businesses.
 🔹 We’ll collaborate with other Irish Businesses when networking and participating in Events. With forums covering construction, food and drink, professional services, and technology, members can access insights, collaboration opportunities, and growth strategies.

 🔹 Global Expansion Support: Through strategic PR and brand elevation, Guaranteed Irish businesses enjoy enhanced credibility and promotion in international markets.

We are proud to support their work.
