The Aboretum in Leighlinbridge
Aboretum Home and Garden Heaven is one of Carlow's biggest success stories with a turnover of €8.5m in 2017 and it currently employs 108 people in the community.
The Aboretum is the brainchild of executive chairperson, Rachel Doyle, who spoke recently about how the business started 41 years ago in her garage and revealed why she feels the company has been so successful.
She added: "The greatest success is to be working with my family, every day."
Rachel is a finalist in the industry category of the 2018 EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Ireland programme.
