Limerick Student Enterprise Awards

What a day at the Limerick Student Enterprise Awards yesterday where Quaid Candles, Cene Letter Art, JBM Sports and The Cruelty Free Chocolate Company did a fantastic job. Congrats to Chloe, Evelyne, Nikita and Ellen on being awarded the Best Marketing Award. However, the icing on the cake was when first year student Evan Quaid was announced as the winner of the Junior Category. A fantastic achievement! Evan now heads to Dublin to represent Limerick in the National Finals in May. Watch this space!
