[email protected] / 052 6191105 Emma Lacy, Chief Operations Officer and Head of Sales and Marketing at Horan Automation and Chamber Director, shortlisted in the Top 10 Business Women in Ireland November marks a time every year where the nation’s women are made aware that they are working for free, compared to their male counterparts. In other words, the gender pay gap kicks into place highlighting the excess men are being paid for the same role. Some of the gender inequality statistics according to Richtopia are as follows: · Women lead only 5.5% of the nation’s most powerful companies · Men earn 32% more than women at upper managerial level · Women take on average 3 more years to reach the same level · When surveyed on their experiences, 40% of women said that being female would inhibit their success. Further to this, according to experts on the Matt Cooper show on Today FM, it has been proven that when applying for roles, employers favour male CVS. In a study when men and women switched names on their CVs, the male CV was favoured every time. In light of this we must strive to celebrate and highlight successful women in business in our region. One such prominent business woman is Emma Lacy, Chief Operations Officer and Head of Sales and Marketing at Horan Automation in Drangan. Since joining the engineering team less than two years ago, Emma has quadrupled the sales, doubled the workforce and spearheaded a business venture which opened up new international markets for the company. These achievements have earned Emma a joint management role with the owners. Horan Automation was delighted to win the “Best Start-Up or Emerging Business” in the 2018 Tipperary business awards which really is a testament to how hard the team works and how successful the business is becoming. Not only that but Emma herself has been shortlisted into the last 11 of the nominees for “Best Management Professional” in the Irish Images Business Woman of the Year Awards, 2018. As well as being the only shortlisted nominee from Tipperary, Emma is actually the only one from Munster. “I am completely overwhelmed to be shortlisted for such a prestigious award amongst the greatest business women in the country. Being a woman working at a top level in an engineering company can come with its challenges, especially as I am not from an engineering background. It is an exciting industry and I am delighted to see that my hard work and dedication is paying off. It is always wonderful to receive positive feedback from one’s peers and I hope I am proud to represent Tipperary in the final shortlist of nominees.” The awards night will take place next Monday 19th November and nominees will receive news on the night. We wish Emma the best of luck and wish her every success in Horan Automation for the future.

However, the UK’s notification of its intention to withdraw from the EU has created significant uncertainties. The European Commission has therefore sought to clarify what the situation will be for a number of business sectors in the event that no agreement is reached to mitigate the impacts of the UK’s withdrawal. Notices have been issued in respect of industrial products, company law, trademarks, auditing and import and export licenses as well as a range of other areas. A list of the notices published to date are available to view on the Commission’s website at the following link: European Commission Brexit Preparedness The Department of Business, Enterprise & Innovation (DBEI) is encouraging firms to review these notices and consider relevant actions that may be required to mitigate any potential negative impacts that may arise for them in terms of Brexit. If you have any queries regarding these Brexit Preparedness Notices or the industrial sector which your business operates in, with regards to preparing for Brexit, please contact our EU & International Affairs Manager Emma Kerins, via her email address:
