Social Pics: Milestones and Momentum: Celebrating 2025 event

In a warm, celebratory close to the year, the IMAGE Business Club hosted its final event of 2025 – Milestones & Momentum – bringing members together for an evening of reflection and inspiration. The gathering offered a chance to look back on a transformative year in business while setting the stage for an exciting year ahead.

The evening opened with an engaging and candid conversation featuring Áine Kerr, broadcaster, entrepreneur, and long-time champion of women in business. Kerr shared her reflections on a whirlwind year marked by growth, change and opportunity. With her trademark clarity and warmth, she discussed the realities of leadership and the importance of resilience, making for a discussion that resonated deeply with attendees navigating their own professional journeys.

Later in the programme, Áine Kennedy, founder of The Smooth Company, took to the stage to share her brand’s remarkable trajectory in 2025. From scaling production to expanding into new markets, Kennedy spoke openly about both the milestones and the lessons behind her company’s recent success. Her insights offered a refreshing look at modern entrepreneurship powered by innovation, agility and strong community support.

Guests enjoyed drinks throughout the evening, courtesy of Poachers Tonics and Tanqueray Gin, adding a celebratory note to the thoughtful discussions unfolding in the room. And in a special seasonal surprise, every attendee left with a SuperValu gift voucher, a much-appreciated treat at this time of year.

As the event concluded, excitement was already building for what’s next. The IMAGE Business Club will return in 2026 with a brand-new calendar of events, conversations and experiences designed to empower members at every stage of their business journey.
