E29 That Great Business Show - Ireland's best business podcast Presented by Conall O Móráin2' Hannah Wrixon had joined That Great Business Show Episode 8 telling us about her plans for her hospitality recruitment platform Get the Shifts. Now she's back explaining why she has sold her 'baby' to one of Ireland's largest recruitment companies, FRS. Having poured blood, sweat and tears into her company, what was it like to sell?? What were the pre-sale chats like (tough!)? Will FRS bring her platform to the rest of the world? What's next for this super-entrepreneur? She asks why would anyone go into services as opposed to software. Hannah's 'hire in a heartbeat'? Michelle Obama. Find out why.22' Is Hacketstown, County Carlow, Ireland's most entrepreneurial town? Another Hacketstown entrepreneur, Paula Butler, co-founder of Butler's Organic Eggs, gave up her administration career in Higher Education to care for 250 organic hens. She's now 'minding' 4,050 hens that produce 3,500 eggs every day, which is great until demand drops (for whatever reason). The hens keep going, so what can you do? How big can an organic egg business grow without losing its soul? What happened when Dubai asked for Irish organic eggs? Who would Paula hire in a heartbeat? Most of County Carlow it seems.55' Emmet Kerrigan, co-founder of Galway based All About Kombucha, is a brother of another TeamGBS alum, Fergus Kerrigan of Ethos CBD, so it seems entrepreneurship is in genes. Hear how his first business started in Vancouver, Canada but thanks to the Canadian visa system he and his co-founder had to head back to Galway where they now are developing a kombucha business. Like so many businesses supplying the hospitality industry Covid caused them to pivot - and they're now shipping Kombuchas kits to customers - but glass fermenting jars don't travel well, so that was just one of the problems to be overcome. Next they're going to ship their kombucha kits to Europe - all from beautiful Galway. Their business has more energy than a small power station. And one of his 'hire in heartbeat' choices - Mother Theresa, as you would!That Great Business Show is proudly sponsored De Facto Shaving Oil www.DeFactoShave.com Find all episodes at www.ThatGreatBusinessShow.com Hosted on Acast.
