A quiet priest won't get a parish. An interview with Caroline Murphy.
For my next Women in Business in West Cork interview with West Cork FM, I feel that it is fitting that I have chosen Caroline Murphy from West Cork Eggs. This time last year, Caroline won the Network Ireland Emerging Business of the Year award. You can listen in tonight at 9pm online on West Cork FM.
This is a story of City Chic to Country Chick. 20 years ago Caroline moved from London to West Cork where she met her husband and they now live on the family farm with their 4 kids, just outside Rosscarbery.
In 2009 Caroline bought my first 4 hens and from there by business grew to our now 3000 free range birds. They are part of the Food Academy family and supply 21 Supervalu stores in the Cork area as well as other independent retail outlets, cafes, restaurants and hotels. “We believe in giving our hens good food, freedom and fun and in return they give us what we believe are the best eggs in Cork.”
In 2018 West Cork Eggs was accredited by the Business All Stars in Croke Park in Dublin and they also won the regional and national award for “Best Emerging Business” at the Network Ireland Businesswoman awards and they won “Best New Business” at the Southern Star Awards and lastly but by no means least, they won a Gold Award at the Blas na hEireann Food awards.
Caroline is involved in Network Ireland and is very passionate about helping others to succeed through being supportive and listening. She has also worked with Transition Year students which she thoroughly enjoys.
“Family is hugely important to me and I think West Cork is probably the best place in the world to live!”
