"When I graduated from college I worked for a kitchen company for two years and then I went travelling across Asia for a year and when I came back home I set up SOHFurniture in 2017.
Business is very good and I haven't had to go search-ing for work in the last three years," said Shane O'Halloran.
"I work nationwide but I'm actually in the process of moving my workshop down to Clare as I've just bought a house down there. For the last 12 months 90% of my work has been home improvement work such as kitchens, wardrobes, television units, entertainment units and then I'm doing one-off pieces as well.
Going forward, I can continue to see myself wanting to be hands-on whether that is in the workshop or fitting the pieces for the next 20 years. When I move down to Clare, I will be making the furniture myself and then shipping the pieces back to Dublin to the two fitters I have working for me. I'm going to continue taking it as it comes and all I can do is continue to do the work I'm doing” concluded Shane O'Halloran.
