Faces of Cork Business

Members share their insights and inspirations....



What is your favourite quote or mantra you live by or who do you draw inspiration from? “There is a way around everything; you just have to find the solution." Eleanor Bermingham, NOVUS


If you had 30 seconds to give your final piece of advice to another, what would it be? 
"It is very important to love the job you are doing in order to be successful.  Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all a love of what you are doing." Líobhan Dempsey, Blackwater Motors Volkswagen, Turners Cross


What do you love most about your job?
"Helping start up companies with their image to give them the best possible chance of making it. Guiding businesses with their brand, their next step in their marketing campaign. Meeting people who actually care about design and willing to listen to your ideas, we all need help in promoting ourselves so it’s great when people take on board your thoughts and implement them to better their business." Anthony Cotter, Coolgrey Design

 

If you had 30 seconds to give your final piece of advice to another, what would it be?  Be honest, have integrity, have compassion and LISTEN. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes, and always leave something for the next fella! Cut through the ‘narrative’ and get to the point.  The key to business is personal relationships. Finally, roll with the punches ‘cause tomorrow is a new day! Mark Hopkins, Hopkins Communications

Friendly Business Awards – Extended to July 22nd
 

Due to popular demand JCI Ireland have extended the deadline for the Ireland Friendly Business Awards until Friday, 22nd July 2016.


This year, JCI Ireland is accepting nominations across six categories, which we believe form the fundamental elements of customer service and business friendliness:

  • Community Impact - Does the business give something back to the local community?
  • Customer Care - How helpful and courteous is the business when serving its customers?
  • Digital Experience - How well does the business use digital avenues to help its customers?
  • Disability Access – How does the business make itself accessible to all customers?
  • Eco-Friendliness - How well does the business serve the environment and local economy?
  • Shop Layout and Design - How clean, attractive and well-presented is the business?


The business that best excels across all six categories will be awarded the title of Ireland's Friendliest Business.
