Record Year For SEP Alumni Anthony O’Gorman

Projected product sales of 15,000 units in 2024…. Supplier to 138 Dunnes Stores & 180 Lidl branches Nationwide …. Huge growth in online sales to Irish living abroad … Featured on The Late Late Toy Show …

It’s not Christmas at SEP until we see the adorable wooden reindeers from Anthony’s Wooden Crafts on full display in retail outlets across the country!

Anyone who has been to Dunnes Stores shopping at Christmas time in recent years will recognise the wooden reindeers in this picture! Since 2021 Anthony has been supplying his wooden reindeers to Dunnes Stores outlets across the country.
And we are delighted to let you know that you are going to see many more over the coming weeks as Anthony is now being stocked by Lidl nationwide in the run up to Christmas!

What started as an idea for his student enterprise business in school to help him buy a new mobile phone has led this enterprising young Offaly man to becoming a very successful entrepreneur at just 19 years of age, supplying supermarkets nationwide and selling to customers online across the globe. Over the years Anthony has expanded his product range to include a range of bespoke wooden garden furniture including planters, ornaments, wishing wells, see-saws and more.

Anthony is a great example of where determination, hard work and perseverance can take you.

This young Irish entrepreneur has received many awards over the past five years for his excellence in enterprise, including the Offaly Local Enterprise Awards One-To-Watch Award. He was also a finalist in the Tullamore Chamber Awards Best Start-Up category.

Anthony’s business mantras include:

“If you don’t think BIG don’t be surprised if you stay small”
                                              &
“Face the pain of discipline because the pain of regret is 10 times worse”

Wise words for over 28,000 students taking part in this year’s programme.
