DENISE O’Brien has won the Network Ireland Limerick Solo Businesswoman of the Year Award.

Shannon-based Denise of O’Brien Learning Solutions came out on top at the awards evening at the Clayton Hotel where 43 finalists were competing across nine categories.

Denise, who was also a regional finalist for Networker of the Year, will now go on to the national finals for Network Ireland which will be announced at a black-tie gala ceremony in Lyrath Estate, Kilkenny.

Reacting to her win, Denise said, “While I’m thrilled to represent Limerick at the national event in Dublin in September, I believe true success is not about reaching the final destination, but rather the journey itself. Creating business strategy means aiming high and thinking big, but we must not forget to celebrate the wins and milestones along the way.”

O’Brien Learning Solutions was established eight years ago and supports corporate businesses in creating an award-winning culture through supports including audits, workshops, and coaching to support them on that journey.

There was a record number of entrants to this year’s awards and Denise told The Clare Echo there is a great sense of achievement to be selected.
