Dragon's Den comes to Scoil Dara

Oct 19 2016

Entrepreneur and businessman Bobby Kerr, Chairperson of Insomnia Coffee Company visited Scoil Dara on Wednesday 5th October to speak to  senior business students about his own business journey and to advise any aspiring entrepreneurs. There wasn't a sound or movement in the room for 40 minutes, as the students hung onto his every word!  

Bobby spoke of the challenges he faced in his career and of his time on Dragon’s Den. He informed students that hard work and respect for people, along with innovation, are the key to success in business. Having battled cancer last year, Bobby reminded students that the three most important things in life are your family, friends and health. He asked them to look out for each other, not just in school, but beyond that as they venture out into the world.  

We had some great questions from students at the end, including topics such as Brexit, expansion, financing and missed opportunities. Bobby's talk has definitely inspired many budding entrepreneurs.....maybe in future years one of them will be back to address business students??
