Celebrating the Women Who Inspire Us

 

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. As a female-led organisation co-founded by Ann O’Hanlon, we understand the importance of supporting and empowering women in the workplace. We strive to create a culture where all of our team members, regardless of gender, feel valued, respected, and supported in achieving their goals. Every day, we are proud to be a company that champions women and their achievements.  

The Women Who Inspire Us

At Derrycourt, we recognise and celebrate the incredible contributions that women make every day, not just on International Women’s Day. So this International Women’s Day, some members of Derrycourt are sharing which women inspire them.

We are a diverse team, and this is reflected in the inspirational women the team has chosen to share and celebrate. Some are cultural figures, some are women within Derrycourt and some are deeply personal but they all are figures that illustrate the love, strive for excellence and resillience that we celebrate.

I chose myself because I never thought I could get as far as I did in life. I am shocked by my progress everyday. I've gone through some good and bad times, mainly bad that I was strong enough to pull myself out of. I just always remind myself everyday of how strong and beautiful I am 🙂
