In the latest episode of The Retail Tea Break podcast, I’m joined by three special guests to explore how working together has brought a well loved brand to life, in its forever home. I’m joined by Aoibhín Garrihy and Sharon Connellan, the founders of BEO. The nationally renowned lifestyle brand blends live events promoting self-care with their product line which offers thoughtfully curated collections from sustainable and ethical sources in the West of Ireland. I’m also joined by Ciara Petty from Ciara Petty Design Studio which is a full-service interior design agency specialising in strategic, brand-focused retail, food service and hospitality design.

This episode explores the journey that BEO undertook to design and develop their new home in the heart of Ennis. The beautiful retail space is combined with a coffee shop and community studio space under Ciara’s guidance. From strong brand values to stalking a landlord (!), this episode is one not to be missed!  So grab your cup of tea, sit back and listen in…
