Limerick mum wins 4FM business prize
15 September 09

4FM today said that the firm set up by a Limerick mum, Off We Go Publishing, is the winner of its 'Doing it for themselves' competition. Off We Go Publishing was born of a Limerick Mum's passion to help her son, who has severe developmental brain disorder, to learn day-to-day skills and cope with new experiences.

This nationwide competition was established to recognise and reward all those people who have taken a chance in "Doing it for themselves" and are forging ahead in business and in life in spite of the current economic difficulties. Off We Go Publishing will now receive an extensive radio and print advertising package as well as a tailored communications campaign by public relations and advertising experts Unique Media to the value of €15,000.

Also commended in the 4FM 'Doing It For Themselves' competition were Galway-based Michael Fitzgerald who set up 'Swift Accounts', a web-based book-keeping and accounts application dedicated to single-person enterprises and Deirdre Collins who runs 'Dee's Eat Well, Be Happy' range of wholefood burgers which are manufactured in Ballincollig, Co. Cork. Each of the runners-up will receive €1,500 of advertising on 4FM.
