From crunching numbers to pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities, our illustrious and varied careers began in the corporate world where we honed our skills as an accountant (Joe) and a manufacturing engineer(Denise) for over 10 years working for major multinationals including Kerry Group, Motorola, Intel, Fujitsu and Tyco Electronics.

 

Following this, our financial acumen and entrepreneurial curiosity led us to venture into the world of self-employment in the retail sector and for close to two decades, through relentless drive, together we built a thriving enterprise from the ground up employing 28 dedicated staff and achieving multi-million euro turnover, whilst accumulating many awards for excellence in retail standards along the way.

                                               

However, we were not content to rest on our laurels, so recognising a new opportunity and eager for a fresh challenge, we chose to divest from our successful retail business. At the end of a lengthy and arduous due diligence process, we completed a successful exit of our business and disposed of it to an Irish-owned, family run, oil and forecourt business.
