What an amazing night at the Network Ireland Cork Businesswoman of the Year Awards ✨
Helping to organise this year’s awards alongside Diane Higgins and Dr. Siobhán Lucey was such an honour, and I’m so grateful to have been part of such a special celebration of women in business across Cork.
Huge congratulations to all of our incredible winners — you are all so deserving and inspirational. 💫💫 Mary Crilly, Founder of the TheSexual Violence Centre (President’s Award), Dawn Holton (Dawn Hotlon Home & Properties), Wendy O’Driscoll (Mitchelsfort Contracting) , Laura Howard (Trinny London), Ciara O’Connell (SolarHill Energy) , Nadine Hughes Campbell (Noah's Adventures), Ciara Crossan (Wedding Dates Ltd.), Louise Kane Buckley (Loula Natural) and Najla Ahmadyar.
A massive thank you to our fantastic Network Cork committee, Conor and all the staff at The Kingsley, MSL Cork Mercedes-Benz, and the wonderful St. Columba’s School Choir who brought such joy and energy to the evening.
A special thank you as well to everyone who donated and supported our raffle in aid of the Children’s Health Foundation. The generosity on the night was incredible and helped raise significant funds for a truly important cause ❤️
And finally, thank you to my incredibly brave cousin Tracy Kilgallon for speaking so beautifully on behalf of the Children’s Health Foundation. Her words were deeply moving and a reminder of the real impact this charity has on families across Ireland.
Such a special night full of connection, support and celebration.
