Amy Huberman’s involvement helps shoe firm to step into the limelight

The recruitment of actress, Amy Huberman to inspire designs for shoes for a Co Monaghan shoe firm has coincided with a lift in fortunes of the business.

In December 2012, the author launched her first shoe collection for Buddha Brand and figures lodged with the Companies Office show that the firm increased its accumulated profits from €369,687 to €385,432 in the 12 months to the end of January 31, 2013. The figures show that Buddha Brand Industry Ltd’s cash pile increased more than four-fold during the period, going from €64,351 to €250,931. The full impact of Ms Huberman’s collaboration with Buddha Brand will be reflected in the firm’s accounts to the end of January this year.

Ms Huberman debuted on the Irish retail scene with the design of her “American Beauty’ leather ankle boot for Buddha Brand.
