What advice would you give any woman considering starting their own business?
The first question I would ask any woman starting her own business is ‘why’? Once she has a clear vision, is passionate about what she wants to do and has a good business plan then I would say go for it. Keep believing in yourself. Be strong, work hard and never give up . If she is trying to raise a family it can be a bit of a trigger for guilt as there is not much of a work/life balance when starting your own business. Women can still carry a lot of the household responsibilities and this takes time away from the business.
What part of your job do you enjoy the most?
There is a very good management team now in place in our main office and factory in Rathcoole, Dublin which is allowing me now to focus more on our new flagship store and coffee shop in Kilbride, Wicklow A67YC64 which I am enjoying and very excited about at the moment.
What goal did you achieve in 2024, both business and personal?
Green Angel expanded its national and international export markets, strengthening its reputation as a quality Irish brand. Additionally, a long-held personal and business dream was realized last year with the successful opening of Polly’s Vintage Tea Room in Wicklow.
What is your biggest skincare secret?
Water, sleep, and a good skincare regime.
