Carrolls Irish Gifts is proud to announce Jessica Shaw, the innovative entrepreneur behind Enniskinn Handcrafted Cosmetics, as the winner of the 2024 Fáilte Initiative. This marks the second year of the initiative, which aims to support and showcase exceptional Irish businesses, providing them with a national platform and a comprehensive support package.

Enniskinn is a vibrant brand of self-care products created in rural Northern Ireland, inspired by the beautiful landscapes and folklore of the region. The brand offers gifts that share the natural scents and peaceful stories of the isle, of the hills, and of the lough. 

Committed to supporting local entrepreneurs and celebrating Irish creativity, Fáilte provides an opportunity for businesses of all kinds to thrive. Carrolls Irish Gifts has a longstanding commitment to fostering Irish talent, with a remarkable 86% of their product range sourced from Irish suppliers. 

This year’s winner, selected from an exceptional pool of applicants, is set to grow with the help of a comprehensive support package. This includes in-store placement, a tailored online promotional campaign, and expert business mentorship. With Enniskinn now stocked in Carrolls stores across the country and on-line, the winner will have the opportunity to reach a broad and diverse audience.

Peter Hyland, CEO of Carrolls Irish Gifts, commented on the winner of the 2024 Fáilte initiative, stating: “Fáilte represents our ongoing dedication to supporting Irish businesses. At Carrolls, we’re deeply committed to championing Irish talent, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see these entrepreneurs flourish. We’re thrilled to continue this initiative, and welcome Enniskinn to the wide range of Irish suppliers at Carrolls. By providing a platform for small Irish businesses to reach a wider audience, we hope to help them grow and succeed in a competitive marketplace.”

Jessica Shaw, owner of Enniskinn Handcrafted Cosmetics, shared her excitement on winning the 2024 Fáilte initiative: “I’m absolutely thrilled and honoured to have been selected as this year’s Fáilte winner. The opportunity to partner with Carrolls Irish Gifts is an amazing opportunity, and I’m eager to bring Enniskinn to a wider audience through their stores across Ireland and online. This level of support is exactly what small businesses like mine need to grow and thrive.”
