Tipperary business given chance to shine at ploughing championships
Rivesci will be present at the National Ploughing Championships this month
A small business from Tipperary will get the chance to exhibit themselves to almost 300,000 people at the National Ploughing Championships in Screggan, Co Offaly this month as part of the Local Enterprise Village.
Rivesci, supported by Local Enterprise Office Tipperary, is a multi-award-winning condiment company based in Clonmel, founded by Shannon Forrest and Michelin-star-trained chef Declan Malone.
The business produces premium small-batch chilli oils and condiments using quality Irish ingredients where possible and was named Blas na hÉireann Supreme Champion in 2024.
The Local Enterprise Village, an initiative of the Local Enterprise Offices, will house over 30 small businesses from across the country and will be located at the heart of this year’s National Ploughing Championships in Offaly from September 15 to 17.
With close to 300,000 visitors expected across the three days of the event the Local Enterprise Village provides these small businesses with significant exposure to new audiences and potential new customers.
Speaking ahead of this year’s event, joint owner of Rivesci, Shannon Forrest said that they are “incredibly proud to be representing Tipperary at this year’s event, the exposure from the three-day exhibition in the Local Enterprise Village will help to increase brand awareness from the high numbers expect to visit and inevitably increase sales”.
The Local Enterprise Village will showcase the very best of Irish entrepreneurship and will house businesses across all sectors from clothing, craft and artisanal food to bovine genetics and woodwork machinery.
