Women in business are a beacon of innovation, creativity, diversity and progress in

“Every year the IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year Awards are a showcase of the
incredible depth and diversity of female leadership across Ireland’s business
ecosystem,” says Clodagh Edwards, CEO of IMAGE Media.
With a line-up of 14 categories and shortlisting was a difficult job for the team of judges. Incredible stories were backed up with evidence of the success and vision of the women shortlisted in each category.
Commenting on making the cut, Nuala says, II am delighted for sure and surprised if
I’m honest! For nearly fifty years, we continue to invest, sensitively develop and
innovate at Aillwee. This is an ethos that I learned from the generation before me and
that I endeavour to pass on to all the team. To be sustainable and flourish in our
beloved rural Tourism Industry, we need to stay fresh and interesting for our visitors. It is an honour to be representing our Industry at the IMAGE PwC Businesswoman of the Year Awards 2025. I look forward to a wonderful event where I get to spend time
