Fabulous floor designs from Niamh and Miriam at Underfoot Designs. Congrats on being the Ballymun4business Business of the Week!Are you rolling out the welcome mat for your staff and clients? If so, does that mat represent you or your message?Meet our Business of the Week, Underfoot Designs.Underfoot Designs' founders, Niamh and Miriam, believe everyone should "imagine more from your floor", after all, it's usually just a lot of blank space. From logo mats and safety message mats for your business to a personalised Christmas welcome to your home, Underfoot Designs can work with you to bring your idea to life. These high-quality mats come in a range of sizes and are fully customisable, washable and conform to building regulation standards. We were amazed at the range of uses for these mats including COVID safety messages, personalised pet mats, estate agents putting their brand on showhouses and even exhibitors using very large mats to mark out their floor space at events and conferences.

Congratulations to Mark Loftus and the amazing Paddy Box - the deadliest and most copped on gift box you can send someone!This week we have a mighty business to introduce, it's the down-to-earth, sound and savage, go-on-ya-good-thing fabulousness of The Paddy Box - brainchild of B4b member Mark Loftus. The Paddy Box operates from Ballymun, sending Irish care packages around the globe.(I sent my husband the "Happy Bertie" box and he loved it - and he was right here in Dublin with me.)How many of us have sent parcels to friends and family who've moved abroad - trying to capture everything they might miss from Ireland and put it in a box for them? Can you put 'the craic' in a box though..? The Paddy Box can! Mark sees it as trying to make someone's day - and that's exactly what it does. Not just for the lovely Irish products, or that taste of home, but also because each box is full of Irish wit in both its packaging and content. You can go to their website to see the full range or go to our website to read the full write-up. I'd definitely recommend following on Facebook The Paddy Box Here's the link to our B4b write up: ow.ly/Cslx50G8Ll0 ... See MoreSee Less

What's the best advice you ever received? Meredith Mahoney, President of Lantern and founder of The Everygirl, was definitely someone going places when she was told to focus on direction. If you want to go places, you need to point yourself in that direction. It's also important to let people know where you want to go so that they can help you get there. She sums it up as follows:"Know where you're going, have a plan to get there and make sure the right people know about it."We love to share advice from business people all over the world. Tell us your advice and maybe we'll turn that into a quote card! ... See MoreSee Less
