Ms Dunne said: “Taking the time to stop and acknowledge the fantastic work of female entrepreneurs is very important. In keeping with our firm values of diversity, innovation, entrepreneurship, Matheson is delighted to be involved in supporting and celebrating Irish female entrepreneurs.

“I would like to congratulate Eimear for her continued success and achievements over the last number of years and commend her commitment to innovative business solutions. I would also like to congratulate the other finalists. Every category had a great story to tell and it was an honour to sit on this year’s judging panel.”
