Tomorrow will see Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur named after live pitches before a judging panel, with 24 bright young things competing for the crown and the ‘game-changing’ investment that goes with it, writes Evelyn Ring

PHILIP Martin who has a factory making tortilla chips in Tipperary is one of the top contenders for the title of Ireland’s Best Young Entrepreneur.

At last year’s inaugural national final, Philip won the best business idea category for his company, Blanco Nino in Clonmel, that went into production this year and currently employs nine people.
