*Mick Guinee, CEO & Founder of Ei Electronics with Dolores Costello wearing the Miss Ei sash.

EI Electronics had a reeling in the years moment at its Shannon headquarters last Friday.

Dolores Costelloe who won the first ever Miss E.I. competition back in 1966 paid a visit to the Shannon headquarters of the company which has operated out of the Clare town for over sixty years.

During her visit, Dolores was able to display the original sash from the competition she won almost six decades ago. Miss E.I. became a unique social event during those years and remained popular in Shannon and the wider region until the 1980s.

CEO and founder of Ei Electronics, Mick Guinee was on site and welcomed Dolores to their centre of excellence on Friday. Following some gentle persuasion, Dolores donned the original sash for a photograph with Mick.

Initially, Dolores worked as an assembly line operator and was later promoted to Quality Control in what was then the original E.I. Company under General Electric ownership.
