Health is booming and so are the business opportunities around it. If you have an idea for a health business, then Derval O'Rourke, former Olympian and with a new platform, Derval.ie, launching in July, Irish Biltong's Noreen Doyle and Niall Horgan of Gym+Coffee have great advice and insights into making it.
