Congratulations to all the finalists and winners, who were all extremely deserving and we wish all winners the best of luck as they go forward to the Network Ireland National Awards on Friday September 29 in Lawlor’s Hotel Naas.

We extend a huge thank you to our president Joanne O'Herlihy who did an fantastic job in organising the night, our judging panel - Mary Ryan of Tipperary Local Enterprise Office, Barbara Dunne, Manager of Tipperary Town AIB and Shannon Forrest, co-founder of Rívesci, as well as our branch partner Tipperary Local Enterprise Board and our national partner AIB for their continued support.

We also thank our charity sponsor The Shona Project and Tammy Darcy, founder of the project, who did an incredible job as MC on the night.

Thanks to some generous donations from local and network businesses, we are delighted to confirm that the fundraiser on the night raised €1,398 for the Shona Project, which will fund four workshops of up to 100 girls at a time in the new academic year of 2023/2024.

These workshops help to educate, empower and inspire Irish girls to become tomorrow’s strong, resilient and confident young women.

There really are so many benefits to joining the Network Ireland Tipperary branch, as it not only provides female business owners with networking opportunities but offers a range of helpful talks, events and business mentorships.
