A LIMERICK businesswoman has been selected to showcase her designs at the prestigious Arnotts Christmas Market.
Nell Stritch, of Pressed Flowers by Nell, has been selected as a finalist in The Pitch ’24, an initiative led by Brown Thomas Arnotts to support local talent and champion Irish businesses.
The Limerick lady will showcase her pressed flowers at the event which will run from November 14 until early January 2025.
Ms Stritch is one of five finalists, and the only one from Munster to be selected to display at the Christmas market, chosen from over 200 applicants.
Reacting to the news, Ms Stritch said that it will be an honour to represent Limerick on the national stage.
“It’s been a whirlwind behind the scenes— balancing creativity, late nights, and a lot of learning— but I am beyond proud to represent Limerick and share my passion with the world at Arnotts,” she said.
“Being part of The Pitch has been a dream come true. I’m so excited to unveil my exclusive “Love in Flight” robin pressed flower design, created especially for this event,” the Limerick lady added.
The Pitch ’24 competition aims to support and promote the growth of start-ups and small businesses across Ireland, with each finalist to receive mentoring and guidance from an expert panel from Brown Thomas and Arnotts digital, marketing, buying, and store retail teams.
