I was the financial controller for a Dublin pub chain for 20 years. After I had my second boy, I decided I’d rather run my family business than work for someone else.

Dylan [Bradshaw] does the creative side and I do everything else. He has to be on top of the latest trends, and I have to know how to spend money wisely.

If you have a bad week, the first person who doesn’t get paid is the owner. The good thing is, people always need their hair cut.
