My Story

How it all Started
My Story
Moving from the West of Ireland, I discovered Gorey about 10 years ago and now live there with my partner and my dog š I never really took much notice of when people referred to āthe Sunny South Eastā but my goodness, it is so true.Ā Having lived on the West Coast beside the Atlantic, I can confirm that the east coast doesnāt experience anything like the wind and rain that the west of Ireland experiences.
My original āhome placeā is Arigna, Co. Roscommon.Ā Many of you will have come across it in your geography books in school as it was known for itās Coal mining history with mining beginning as early as the 17th Century and the mines finally closing in 1990.Ā Iām very proud of my roots and had the privilege of managing the first Coal Mining Museum in Ireland which opened in Arigna in 2003 and, if you ever get the opportunity, visit it ā you can thank me after š
Following my educational years in Ireland, I worked for some time in the UK and gained lots of experience in multinational and local businesses with plenty of opportunities to grow and develop.Ā I returned to Ireland and worked a variety of companies and it was during Covid that I decided to try going out on my own.Ā Itās true what they say ā the best way to do something is just do it.Ā I would have thought I should have everything perfect and in place before I could start a business and yet, here I am nearly 3 years into my business and Iām just getting around to doing my website!!!Ā Thatās not sound advice by the way š Itād be wiser to have had this done much earlier ā but what Iām saying is nobody starts with everything just soā¦..we all learn as we go and itās the best way.
I love, love, love what I do.Ā Honestly, Iāve never enjoyed working so much.Ā The people I have met and the learnings I have benefited from ā¦. I couldnāt even tell you.Ā Iāve been so struck by the ingenuity and bravery of people in the businesses they start and how they overcome some scary challenges to follow their dream and achieve what they have envisioned and usually more.Ā You people reading this that have taken an idea and turned it into a business, Iām talking about you.Ā Give yourself a pat on the back and be proud of what you have achieved.
