We're pretty chuffed to announce that the Lovin Group (that's us) won Best in News Publishing and Entertainment at the 21st annual Eir Spider Awards 2016 in The DoubleTree by Hilton Dublin last night.

We beat off some pretty stiff competition for award in Irish digital excellence, being put in the same category as RTÉ News Online, The Sunday Business Post, Clubify, Spin1038.com, and First1000days.ie.

Panti Bliss, who was on MC duties for the night, presented the award to Group Editor Marie Madden, Founder Niall Harbison, and Strategy & Operations Director Hugh O’Flanagan.

The Lovin Group is comprised of Lovin Dublin, Lovin Dubai and Lovin Malta, with the most recently launched sites being Lovin.ie and Lovin Manchester.

And there’s more to come.
