Business lessons from behind the Fairy Door

-

 

ENCHANTING children into a wonderful world of imagination, The Irish Fairy Door Company has been a successful business for co-founder and chief storyteller Niamh Sherwin-Barry who will address the next Network Ireland Limerick event. 

On February 21 next, businesswomen throughout the Mid West will head for The Savoy Hotel in Limerick at 6pm where Niamh will share her story to date. 

The Irish Fairy Door Company helps fairies relocate into homes and gardens all over the world by producing high quality Irish fairy doors.

After being hit very badly by the recession, Niamh and Oisin Barry and Aoife and Gavin Lawler were on the verge of emigrating.

Following a conversation around the kitchen table in June 2013 the company started business, largely through Facebook and word of mouth that August.

Their mission was to bring children’s imaginations back and enable them to play like they used. 

Four years later and the Irish Fairy Door Company now employs 15 people and ships to over 120 different countries and have sold close to 500,000 pieces worldwide. 

At the Network Ireland Limerick event, attendees will learn how this simple idea has quickly grown into a hugely successful business which now sees every second child in Ireland own their own Fairy Door.

Valerie Murphy, president of Network Ireland Limerick, said, “We are very excited to be bringing Niamh Sherwin-Barry to Limerick. The Irish Fairy Door company is a really unique business and appears to have enjoyed a fairytale start. We’re looking forward to hearing all about the highs and lows of building a hugely successful company in such a short space of time. This is the perfect event for existing and budding entrepreneurs who are looking for that little bit of magic to building a successful business.”
