In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Lorraine Heskin, the trailblazing founder of Gourmet Food Parlour, one of Ireland's most successful independent hospitality groups. Lorraine shares her journey from selling Irish foods on the streets of Manhattan to opening a tiny 25-seater café off a side street in Dun Laoghaire - without investors, key money, or a culinary background. She reveals how she grew a brand that now spans restaurants, catering, corporate hospitality, and even cross-country expansion, all while maintaining a fierce loyalty to her team, her customers, and her values. This conversation is a masterclass in brand-building, resilience, and trusting your instincts - especially when the world tells you otherwise. Whether you're in food, retail, or simply thinking about taking the leap to start your own business, Lorraine's story will light a fire under you. ----- Subscribe to our newsletter for weekly inspiration on Business, Brain and Body, as well as exclusive events, courses and more, straight to your inbox.

Expleo, the global technology, engineering and consulting service provider, and Comit, the tech specialist PR and communications agency, have announced that they have won a Marketing Excellence Award at this year's Tech Excellence Awards. The companies were recognised by a judging panel of tech industry peers for their work on Expleo's Business Transformation Index (BTI). For six years, Expleo and Comit have collaborated on the BTI, an annual market study that provides insights into the business, technology and transformation plans and successes of some of Ireland's largest enterprises. The companies were recognised for the impact that the report - and accompanying PR and marketing campaign - has had on Expleo's brand profile and customer growth. Expleo and Comit were selected from a shortlist of six entries for the Marketing Excellence Award. They were announced at a prestigious awards ceremony, hosted by Mediateam, held in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire. Sorcha Cunningham, head of publishing and digital, The Sunday Times, presented the award. The sixth edition of the Business Transformation Index will launch on 12th June 2025. The report explores opportunities and challenges facing enterprises in Ireland in 2025, including economic resilience, AI, DEI, talent and cybersecurity. Siobhán Smith, global brand & communications director, Expleo, said: "When the Expleo brand was born six years ago, we identified a gap in the market for a report like the BTI. Business leaders were starved of Irish data around transformation programmes and the challenges and opportunities therein. The report's impact has grown exponentially since then, as it helps enterprises to benchmark their progress against others, share knowledge and learnings within Irish industry, while also elevating the Expleo brand. "At Expleo, we are known for being a reliable partner with bold ambitions. The BTI's success, underlined by this award, highlights how this PR and marketing campaign is positioning Expleo as a real challenger in transformation services. We are proud to celebrate its impact with the hugely talented team in Comit." Allan Chapman, managing director, Comit, said: "At Comit, we have been helping technology companies to grow for almost 30 years. This award is a testament to the impact that we have on clients' businesses and our dedication to helping them to achieve their goals. "The BTI is a standout campaign because of the trust and openness between our teams. We are constantly inspired by Expleo and their drive to lead conversations, which is what makes them such a remarkable partner. This is an award that is as much about partnership as it is about marketing excellence and I am incredibly proud of our team for their role in it." See more stories here.

A student entrepreneur saving 1,000kg of e-waste every year building his own gaming PCs was the winner of the Student Enterprise of the Year winning the senior category at the awards that took place in Mullingar. Jack Cannon, a senior student at Clonkeen College in Dun Laoghaire, built his first PC at the age of 11 with the help of his brother. He set up Cannon PC at part of the Local Enterprise Offices' Student Enterprise Programme and so far, has achieved sales of almost €40,000. Cannon builds upcycled high speed gaming PCs from old PCs being disposed of in office clear outs and for general sale online. Upcycling project wins student enterprise award There were also top awards handed out in the Intermediate and Junior categories. Suet & Song, a business set up by Michael O'Keeffe from St. Kieran's College in Kilkenny, creates high-quality, nutrient rich suet cakes for birds during the colder months and it took home the top prize in the Intermediate Category. In the Junior category a device that helps hikers and farmers cross electric fencing easily won the top award. Bumblebees is a business set up by Antonia O'Looney, Sophie Gilard, Guiliana Keane and Katelyn Murtagh from Drumshanbo Vocational School in Leitrim. Their WASP (Wire Anti Shock Protector) product is a device that enables people to push down the electric fence without receiving a shock, enabling them to cross safely. The inaugural Student Enterprise Programme Alumni Award was presented to Fenu Health. Set up by sisters Kate and Annie Madden for the Student Enterprise Programme in 2016, the company creates supplements for equine health and their customers include five royal families. The 23rd Student Enterprise Programme National Finals saw 85 businesses from across the country shortlisted in three main categories. The Local Enterprise Office initiative, supported by Enterprise Ireland and local authorities, commenced last September in secondary schools nationwide with over 30,000 students taking part this year. The event was hosted by broadcasters Rick O'Shea and Louise Cantillon and they were joined during the ceremony by Peter Burke, T.D. Minister of Enterprise, Trade and Employment as they announced the winners across the three main categories on the day. The initiative, funded by the Government of Ireland through Enterprise Ireland and delivered by the 31 Local Enterprise Offices in local authorities throughout the country, has seen over 450,000 take part in the programme since it began 23 years ago. Gareth Evans, Chair of the Local Enterprise Office's Enterprise Education Committee, said; "It's been another hugely successful year for the Student Enterprise Programme. Last year we had over 30,000 participants and we will hit that again this year. So, the appetite for student entrepreneurs is growing and that is no doubt down to seeing the amazing young entrepreneurs this country is producing. We've had some excellent winners here today and going on previous successes they will go on to do great things. A great example today was our Alumni Winner, Fenu Health, who are now an outstanding Irish business trading internationally. Today is just the start for these winners and finalists. The skills and lessons they have learned through the process will stand by them for life and we're excited to see where their businesses go from here and the new ones they start-up in the future." The National Final students, who competed across Junior, Intermediate and Senior categories were challenged with creating, setting up and running their own business, which must show sales of their service or product. The judging panel included business owners and representatives from enterprise agencies and associated bodies. The Student Enterprise Programme is open to students of all ages at secondary level, with three separate categories - Junior (1st year), Intermediate (2nd and 3rd year) and Senior (4th, 5th and 6th year, LVA, LCA and Youth Outreach).

Conor Hunt reports from Dun Laoghaire in Dublin.

We could be about to see warning signs to remind tourists to drive on the left-hand side of the road. The signs, designed to remind tourists which side of the road we drive on in Ireland, would be rolled out in more tourist areas under new road sign guidelines published by the Department of Transport. There is sporadic use of such signs at ferry ports such as Dublin, Dun Laoghaire, and Rosslare and in Gaeltacht areas, but the new updates would allow them to be erected at the exits of popular tourist attractions. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Councillor Joe Garrihy, and Helga Himmelsbach. Picture © Pat Flynn
