Tullamore Based Company Snaps Up Top Prize and is Overall Winner ofOffaly County Enterprise Award for 2026

Photo Experience Ltd. is Overall Winner of Offaly County Enterprise Award and Offaly’s nominee for the National Enterprise Awards 2026.  As Offaly’s nominee, Photo Experience Ltd. received a cash prize of €2,500 and will now represent Co. Offaly and Local Enterprise Office Offaly at the National Enterprise Awards in June.

 In 2022, Photo Experience was incorporated by Dean Kelly, his partner Ella Hough, along with Hatim Laxmidhar and Adam Thompson. The foundations had been laid years earlier by Dean and Ella, drawing on hands-on experience of high-volume guest photography in the cruise industry.

Photo Experience designs and installs technology-driven photography systems for theme parks, water parks, zoos, museums and other visitor attractions. The company combines proprietary hardware, software and operational know-how to capture guest experiences and convert those moments into printed and digital photo products. While the output is photography, the business is primarily a technology platform that manages the full image lifecycle, from capture and image association through to retrieval, purchase and delivery.

Orla Martin, Head of Enterprise with Local Enterprise Office Offaly said: “Photo Experience Ltd is a success story and we are particularly impressed by the export potential for this business.   Offaly is proud to be represented by Photo Experience Ltd. at the National Enterprise Awards.”

The National Enterprise Awards will take place on 18th June in The Mansion House, Dublin.
