How did you get started?
We spotted Glansevin for sale and on our first visit instantly loved the place. We were looking for somewhere to run singing workshops and networking conferences of our own, and as Glansevin came with a ready-made hospitality portfolio it seemed ideal to take on as a complementary venture.
What are the challenges of being a successful woman in business? Women face the same challenges as everyone, but additionally can suffer from idiots who think that, as a woman, the business must be a hobby, so they can treat appointments and quotes as lower priority. In today’s climate, trying to “do right” by our staff and local trades is a huge priority and challenge. Businesses sit in a community and should integrate and provide support where possible.
What piece of advice would you give someone starting out today? Look after the finances and understand them, and prioritise sales, without which it all falls apart. The other advice is to enjoy yourself.
