We are incredibly proud of our Managing Partner Elaine Brady who was awarded 1st Runner Up in the ‘Entrepreneur of The Year’ category at the annual PwC IMAGE Media Businesswoman of the Year Awards.
The May 10th ceremony celebrated the incredible achievements of women in Irish business, from founders of SMEs to leaders in Ireland’s biggest companies. The Awards were hosted by Melanie Morris, IMAGE Media’s Group Contributing Editor, and Richard Chambers, News Correspondent at Virgin Media Television. Attendees were treated to an evening of food, drinks, fun, and a musical performance by the illustrious Irish singer Imelda May.
Elaine reflected on the evening, saying:
“With over 900 businesswomen from all walks of life in the room, it was a hugely inspiring event that shows the push and drive for Female Representation at the top is real, and happening… Events like this show the next generation that anything is possible #CantSeeCantBe.”
Our Managing Partner, Ed Heffernan, who co-founded Barden with Elaine in 2014, perfectly summed up our collective thoughts:
“Elaine has been an unstoppable force for change in the recruitment profession since the founding of Barden in 2014. Nearly 10 years on her ambition, energy, and pace should be an example to everyone out there of what you can achieve if you put your mind into it. Inspiring!”
