Excellence in Sustainability & Climate Action at the Laois Business Awards 2025
Finline says this recognition reflects the values which shape every part of its business, from the local production in Emo to the company’s focus on reducing waste and using responsible materials, sustainability is part of how Fineline works every day.
Joint MD Kilian Finane says: “A key part of this is REVIVE by Finline, our sofa take-back and restoration programme. In partnership with Loved Back to Life, a social enterprise run by Aiséirí, we rescue pre-loved Finline sofas and refurbish them with the help of individuals in addiction recovery. These pieces are then resold at affordable prices, keeping furniture out of landfill and supporting meaningful skills development.
“Alongside this, we now divert 95% of our fabric waste from landfill and continue to push for greater recycling and reuse as we work towards our 2030 goals.”

Finline also picked up the gong for ‘Best Home Furnishing Interiors Store of the Year’. This award recognises the level of care and attention the company aims to bring to every part of the customer experience.
“From the first consultation to the final delivery, our team is focused on getting the details right and helping each customer find a piece that suits their home and lifestyle. Everything we make is crafted to order and built to last, and this award is a reflection of the pride we take in our work and the people behind it,” says Kilian.
