Women in business from Leitrim, Longford and Westmeath gathered in Viewmount House, Longford to attend the last tri-county women in business event for 2019. The theme for the evening was ‘out with the old in with the new’.

Speakers on the night included Margaret Hoctor of Kilmullen Farm, an entrepreneur, coach, trainer and speaker. Margaret told her story about how, faced with redundancy in 2013, she and her husband built up food business Kilmullen Farm. Since 2013, they have diversified into lamb distribution, apple juice, seasonal sweetcorn as well as a full horse livery business.

Elaine Bradley Ryan of Ideation Marketing spoke of the importance of networking when setting up a business as well as facilitating an enjoyable networking session.

The final speaker was Pauline Rogers of Bawn Holistic, who helped the attendees to wind down by guiding them through some mindfulness exercises as well as providing tips on mindfulness and how it can help us through the busier times in our lives.
