Despite having no coding experience, but a stubborn (perhaps misplaced!) sense of belief and determination, I developed Caboodle over the course two consecutive maternity leaves. What started as a simple idea to connect Irish businesses with customers has grown into Ireland's fairest e-commerce platform.

Through extensive collaboration with Irish business owners across the country and huge amounts of determination, Caboodle is proof that when we work together with innovation and technology, we can build something truly special for Ireland.

This is just the beginning of what I hope will become Ireland's most trusted platform for connecting local businesses with customers who care about supporting Irish enterprise.
