Fashion designer and businesswoman, Sonya Lennon, has managed to trade successfully through the pandemic. This is despite a blip in the early days when Lennon Courtney, the fashion label she runs with TV presenter, Brendan Courtney, went offline due to sheer demand.

“That was about three weeks of 'not existing' in the consumer sphere. When we went back up again, we were really well received. We've had huge support from Dunnes as well. Because we're so led by silhouette, colour and print, we lend ourselves very well to an online model.”
