OUR PANELISTS
SONIA DEASY
Co-founder, Pestle & Mortar
Sonia started her career in business by running the family shop in Newbridge, which specialised in branded goods. Managing the store with a staff of sixteen people at only twenty years of age gave Sonia the opportunity to develop an incredible work ethic.
Years later, as a busy mother of five, Sonia noticed a gap in the market for a simple, effective skincare routine she could rely on. She worked alongside her sisters and together they developed a formula following a less-is-more approach, favouring the natural look free from harsh chemicals.
Sonia named the business Pestle & Mortar as it reflects her own motivations, namely simplicity, natural solutions and a less-is-more philosophy.
Catherine Buggy
Founder, Boutique Bake
Catherine Buggy is a 29-year-old entrepreneur from Clonskeagh. She set up her food business Boutique Bake in the summer of 2013, retailing a range of delicious baking mixes for those of us who are short on time!
