Following Cora's talk, we will launch our Female Entrepreneur Year Award 2019 which will have a prize of €2,000 for the overall winner.  As a previous winner and current judge of our LEO Dublin City Female Entrepreneur of the Year Award, Cora will talk about her experience and why she thinks entering Awards is always beneficial.  We will also have brief talks by our two 2018 winners:
  • Una Healy, founder of Una Healy Design, a Dublin-based creative graphic design studio, was awarded the 2018 'Female Entrepreneur of the Year' Award. Una was awarded for having achieved the greatest business performance of all of the entrants over the past year. 
  • Maeve O'Malley, founder of Meltdown Café won the 2018 'Rising Star' Award for her Temple Bar-based café that specialises in gourmet toasted cheese sandwiches. Maeve was awarded for hitting some highly impressive targets and milestones during her first year

SPEAKER PROFILE:

Cora Barnes set up her first business, Three Q Temps Ltd, at 21 with two friends and celebrated 20 years in that business last month.  This is an employment and permanent recruitment firm based in Dublin with 12 office staff, 100 temps and a turnover of €3 million. In that time she has gone on to set up and close down other businesses and is an active social entrepreneur.  With a huge passion for education she achieved an Executive MBA in 2017 showing her commitment to life-long learning (and possibly over-scheduling her work-load) and continues to support educational projects through her company's CSR campaigns after funding a children’s education project for over 10 years.
