Our office on Bindon Street in Ennis — a familiar door for families and businesses across Clare.

From our historic roots on Bindon Street in Ennis, MHP Sellors has built enduring relationships with the families and enterprises at the heart of Clare. We understand that a family business is more than a company: it is a livelihood, a legacy and a commitment to the people around it.

Our advice spans generations, supporting family businesses as they grow, adapt and prepare for the future. Sponsoring the Best Family Business Award is a natural extension of that dedicated, client-focused approach.

Previous wins of the Professional Services Excellence Award make this partnership particularly meaningful for our firm. We are proud to celebrate the excellence of fellow Clare businesses.
