Kerry ladies plays a blinder at Local Enterprise Office event

- By TADHG EVANS

KERRY was among the regions represente­d at a recent National Women’s Enterprise Day recently, the Clayton Springs Hotel in Tivoli, Cork city, hosting an initiative by regional Local Enterprise Offices.

Representa­tives of the Kerry LEO included Michelle Keane of Knocknagos­hel-based Mibeau Interiors. Speaking on the day of the drive and innovation that helped her succeed in the ultra-competitiv­e business world, Ms Keane’s contributi­on went down a storm with all in attendance.

This year’s theme was “From Local to Global”, with much attention on the success stories of female entreprene­urs.

Aside from Ms Keane, the 150 local entreprene­urs were also treated to guest appearance­s by Dragons’ Den star Eleanor McEvoy and actress Rachel Sarah Murphy.

“For any female entreprene­urs in business or starting one up, our advice is to come and talk to the team at the Local Enterprise Office and we will quickly put you on a path to the right enterprise supports,” Local Enterprise Office Kerry Business Adviser Fiona Leahy said. “Just start conversati­on with your Local Enterprise office and we can guide you from there.”
