Each year, the social team put together a wrap up video for the year gone by. Watching it tonight before posting, I’m reminded just how much can happen in 12 months when the right people are pulling in the same direction.

This year saw some huge milestones for us. The install of our AutoStore, additions of incredible brands like, and hundreds of new stockists to name a few. Adding to this, award recognitions including the Cork Company of the Year and taking home three trophies at the Digital Marketing Awards were real highlights. To finish the year, we go live with in 900 doors in January. It is the people in this video that make that all possible.

The culture, the energy, the creativity, the problem-solving, the laughs along the way. The ~75 people who show up every day believing in what we’re building, and the partners, brands, stockists and consumers who trust us to deliver.

We move fast. Sometimes too fast to fully appreciate it in the moment. Videos like this are a reminder to pause, reflect, and say thank you.

2025 will be a big year for us. One I’m hugely proud of. But for now, here’s to the team, the journey so far, and what’s still to come 💚

Thank you for being part of it.

The annual Christmas party photo. This was taken 9 seconds before they all took the jumpers off 😄 what a crew I work with. I’m very very very lucky 💚
Last Friday night, picked up the headline Legends Award at the Cork Chamber Digital Marketing Awards 🏆

We also took home Best Use of TikTok and Best Digital Marketing Team, two awards that couldn’t be more deserved 🙌

Three years ago, I made the decision to bring together our social, digital, graphic and e-commerce teams into one shared function to support all four of our trading divisions. It hasn’t been without its challenges or growing pains, but today it’s become a powerhouse of creativity and performance with 10 incredible team members driving it forward 💥

These awards recognise the work this team does every day, building and sustaining the digital presence of 20+ brands, managing design, content and trade marketing, and supporting so many of our salon, clinic and retail partners.

I’m so proud of everyone involved, both the digital team and the wider business - who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible at National Beauty Distribution ✨
Huge news at this morning! 💚 This has been in the works for quite some time but today, I can officially announce that we are now the exclusive distributor for in Republic of Ireland. Davines is a brand I have admired for years and having visited their facilities in Italy, I truly fell in love with who they are and what they stand for.

A huge thank you to Davide, Anthony, Mark and Matthew at Davines for giving us this opportunity and an even bigger thanks to the National Beauty team for their work on this so far🍃
Just finished an incredible week at. It’s hard to overstate how transformative the experience has been both personally and professionally.

I had the chance to spend time learning alongside some of the best business leaders I’ve ever met. Sharp minds, big visions, and zero ego.

This week helped clarify something powerful: the difference between managing and leading. Great companies need both but true culture, growth, and resilience come from real leadership.

I’m walking away with renewed focus on building stronger teams, coaching with intent, and fostering a culture that lasts. I really intend to continue this journey with Harvard into the future.
It’s official! is back on the 22nd March 2026! Save the date for now and more details to follow soon. Wait until you hear who is headlining this year 🤫

Last Friday night, National Beauty Distribution had the honour of collecting the SME Cork Company of the Year Award at the Annual Dinner. A huge thank you to Rob Horgan, Conor Healy and the wider Chamber team. A big thank you to for his keynote speech on the night.

I’ve long admired the winners of this coveted award and our entire team are over the moon to be recognised in this way. We faced stiff competition in our category and it is testament to the dedication of our team that the judges chose us as the winners.

Congratulations to the winners of the other 3 categories; of in the emerging category, in the large category and in both the international and overall.

Finally, a massive thank you to the sponsors, and for their support.
We won! Certainly a highlight in ’s 14 years tonight. The Company of the Year Award is one I’ve admired countless winners of. This is a testament to the brands that trust us, the consumers that love our brands and most of all, the 75 dedicated people who give it their all every day to make this company what it is 💚 #ccab25
Each and every year that goes by in building, I feel like we go faster than gives us time to appreciate what we’re doing. I want to thank each and every person who made this year so special. From everyone that helped make a reality, to those who supported, & as well as the hundreds of stockists and thousands of consumers of every incredible brand we distribute.

2025 will see the company hit a very important milestone which I will share in due course. Sometimes, we forget to reflect but for some reason, this time of year has us all slow down and appreciate what we have. What I have is the most amazing group of people who believe in what we are building. But above all, the incredible team of ~75 people I get the pleasure of working with on a daily basis.

Here’s to them and here’s to you. Thank you for supporting our journey and helping us to do what we love 💚

Merry Christmas and have the best New Year 🎄
