Shop Front: 'I know how hard it can be for a small business to compete'

Ciara Herity

In May of this year when her baby was twelve weeks old, Cork woman Ciara Herity launched Lovegreen.ie. As the retail world as we knew it made the transition to an online space, she saw the huge difference between the online reach of global businesses and that of small business owners. 

With Lovegreen.ie, Herity aimed to create a platform that would give smaller businesses a foothold in the online space. Providing a market space for hundreds of local Irish businesses across 90 categories in all 32 counties, Herity hopes that the website will help prompt us all to shop locally.
