Inspired by the creative functionality of outdoor living areas abroad, Liam and Dani Kavanagh set up their own business, Cruach Design six years ago. Now employing seven people in their local community in Clonard, close to Ballymahon, the couple have built a sustainable business from the ground up.Growing up, Liam’s father did general fabrication, creating gates and railings and ornamental work. After spending a lot of time overseas working in the oil and gas industries, Liam returned to Ireland but he didn’t have much direction regarding what he was going to do. However, his father’s business and workshop were there.
