What drives SMEs to suceed

In this week’s column, Kehlan takes a look at the some of the businesses he talked to in 2015. He explores what drives these SMEs to succeed.    

Early on in 2015 I spoke with Ciaran Finnane of Finline Furniture which is based in Emo in Co Laois.

The company was started by his father, but refusing to reduce quality or price during the recession it turned from selling through stores to open its own outlets in Dublin and Cork.
