How did a lady from Capetown end up in Tipperary and how did a transition year student enterprise turn into a real business that ended up doing business with one of the biggest farming conglomerates in the world?
Bronwyn April travelled from Cape Town South Africa to work on the Student Enterprise programme being run by LEO Tipperary. Bronwyn’s background is in Social work, working specifically within the youth development sector in Southern Africa. Experience linked to this role, include working with young entrepreneurs from marginalised communities in Cape Town and supporting their personal development and wellness on their entrepreneurial journey.
