On E175 That Great Business Show with Conall O Móráin
Gerard Horn is the third generation of the Horn family that has been making gloves in Dublin. Back in the 1960s they were employing more than a 100 people, making gloves fro Christian Dior, Harrods, Bloomingdales and Saks. They also had a contract to supply 10,000 First Communion gloves. The disaster struck and their factory, along with 80 machines, burnt down. They eventually bought two machines from a UK glove maker that was closing down and they’re still in business making gorgeous gloves.
And Andrew Lynch, CEO Mason Alexander, always, always wanted to be an entrepreneur…so started selling ponchos….a business that didn’t last a wet day…but he’s now running his own international business…and he's part of our #BeachHeadUSA mini-series. Essential listening if the USA is a target market for your business.
