The Elevator Pitch and Video Session - November 26th and 27th

Our next session, the elevator pitch will be combined with a session where you will have the opportunity to video your pitch and use this for your blog, LinkedIn or any other online site. The pitching workshop will take place on Friday 26th from 10am - 1pm and the videos will take place on Saturday. This is a Skillnets initiative. Places are free for those who are unemployed.

Please contact me directly for more information. mcdonaghcaroline@gmail.com

An elevator pitch is a short presentation which is intended to be short enough to deliver in the time it takes to get from the ground floor to the top floor boardroom in an elevator - assuming you are with your target audience and you have their undivided attention. In this session we will look at how you go about preparing your personal pitch.

20 new posts in healthcare manufacturing in Mayo.

A northwest Mayo company is due to begin recruiting “immediately” for 20 new posts in healthcare manufacturing.

Bioshell Teo was established in Dublin by John Raftery and Reiner Escweny in 1996, and relocated to its current base in the north Mayo Gaeltacht five years later. It currently employs 25 people, making a wide range of vitamin and mineral supplements for an international market.

The company specialises in sports nutrition and traditional herbal medicine products, and was granted a manufacturer’s authorisation by the Irish Medicines Board last month.

The new certification allows the company to increase its product range and expand into the pharmaceutical market, according to Údarás na Gaeltachta which has supported the company.

The company has been based in Ceathrú Thaidhg and recently established an additional manufacturing space in the Údarás na Gaeltachta industrial park in Belmullet.
“Bioshell is expanding to meet the growth in demand in the sports nutrition and food supplement market,” Mr Eschwey said.
“The new facility provided by Údarás na Gaeltachta in Belmullet will allow us to undertake our expansion plans and increase production and capacity, ensuring that our business can grow into the future.”
The company is recruiting for eight new posts in validation, quality control, information technology and production, while the remaining positions will be recruited over the next two years.
