Was out of work 17 years ago, watched a documentary about coffee farmers and trade unions and decided to start a coffee business. It was a big struggle for a long time. Really grateful we got mentioned yesterday in Irish Times 50 great brands. Never underestimate timing, dumb luck and persistence.

Sorry to hear this - people put a load of work into their shows on RTE's digital stations! I hosted a show, Sweet Oblivion, on 2XM from 2009 till around 2011 (?). (When I started it was unpaid work if I remember correctly!)
So, it's been officially announced: after 19 years on the online airwaves, RTÉ is to close four of its five digital radio stations, including 2XM, on New Year's Eve.
