Behind every successful business is a story of ambition, hard work and the people who helped along the way.

At The Mill Enterprise Hub, we're fortunate to be part of those stories every day, supporting entrepreneurs as they turn ideas into businesses, overcome challenges and find new opportunities to grow.

So we're especially proud to share that The Mill has been named a finalist in two categories at the 2026 Drogheda & District Chamber Business Awards!

🏆 Best Not-for-Profit

🏆 Outstanding SME 2–10

As a enterprise hub, our success is measured by the success of the businesses and people we support. These nominations are a lovely recognition of the work our team and wider community are doing to help businesses thrive across Drogheda and the North-East.

And we're not the only ones celebrating!

A huge congratulations to Darren Reilly and Brotherhood, one of our resident Miller businesses, who have been shortlisted for Best Start-Up Award. 👏

It's fantastic to see the ambition and hard work of local founders being recognised.

That's what The Mill is all about. Bringing the right people, support and opportunities together to help great businesses grow.

Thank you to Drogheda & District Chamber for the nominations, and congratulations to all the finalists.

We're looking forward to a great night celebrating local business! 🥂

You want to grow your business. But where should you focus: winning new customers, securing funding, or preparing to scale? When everything needs your attention, it’s easy to stay busy without making the progress you want.

At The Mill Enterprise Hub, you have an experienced team based here to help you work through those decisions, alongside a community of founders who understand the challenges.

Start with a conversation about your business. Work out your next steps with our team. Build your knowledge and connections through practical workshops and events.

Here’s what's happening in October 👇

💡 Marketing Workshop for our Millers
Helping you sharpen your message, reach the right customers, and clearly explain why they should choose your business.

Our ancestors were hunter-gatherers.

They spent their days walking, lifting, carrying, climbing and constantly moving.

Fast forward to today… and many of us spend eight hours sitting at a desk.

Our bodies haven’t really changed that much, but the way we work has.

That was one of the big takeaways from today’s Lunch & Learn with Corporate Care 360 at The Mill Enterprise Hub.

We’re built to move, and even small changes during the working day can make a huge difference to how we feel, focus and perform.

One simple tip that really stood out:

👉 After around 25 minutes of focused desk work, get up and move for 5 minutes.

When you return to your desk, your energy and concentration can come back much stronger.

We also learned how much our posture can influence the signals we send to our brain.

When we slump or slouch, our body can reinforce those feelings of tiredness.

When we sit upright and change position, we send very different signals helping us feel more alert and engaged.

And what about standing desks?

They can absolutely help, but standing all day isn’t the answer either.

The key is movement and change.

Sit. Stand. Walk. Stretch. Move.

Corporate Care 360 also spoke about the bigger picture for employers.

If you want your people to perform well, you need to help them feel well.

Their workplace wellbeing programmes include services such as:

• Physiotherapy
• Amatsu
• Reiki
• Yoga
• Talk therapy
• Movement and workplace wellbeing support

All designed to help businesses create healthier, happier and more resilient teams.

A big thank you to the team at Corporate Care 360 or coming into The Mill today and sharing so many practical ideas with our community.

And this is one of the added benefits of working from The Mill.

You don’t just get a desk.

You become part of a community where you can meet people, learn something useful, build your business, and look after yourself along the way.

And yes… you get lunch too. 😊

What do founders love most about The Mill?

We asked our founders. Their answer? The people.

Building a business can feel lonely when you’re making big decisions on your own. At The Mill Enterprise Hub, you’re surrounded by people who understand what you’re working towards. A conversation over coffee could lead to an introduction, a fresh idea, or a way forward.

And there’s plenty more to make your working day better:

A modern, welcoming workspace
Weekly founder events, networking and BBQs
Free clinics on marketing, scaling, funding and international opportunities
A podcast studio and pool table
Free parking
Free tea and coffee ☕

We’re usually full, but a few spaces have recently opened up. If you’re an ambitious founder in the North East, now is a great time to come and see The Mill for yourself.

Email [email protected] to arrange a visit. Come for a coffee, meet the community, and see if it’s the right place for you.

Today we said farewell to our caretaker Harry, who has been part of The Mill family for almost 10 years.

Harry is officially retiring now, and hopefully enjoying some well-deserved peace and quiet! As a lovely surprise, Harry’s wife and daughter joined us to see him off properly.

Ronan said a few words to thank Harry for all his years of hard work, dedication and good humour, and we presented him with a carefully chosen hamper, a Ryanair voucher so he can escape to the sun whenever the Irish weather lets him down, an engraved pint glass with his name on it, and of course, a retirement cake.

We all enjoyed breakfast together this morning with eggs, sausages and plenty of chats and laughter. Thank you to everyone who contributed kind messages and wishes in Harry’s card, it means a lot.

Harry, thank you for everything over the years. Your humour, stories and presence will be greatly missed around The Mill. Wishing you a long, happy and relaxing retirement! ☀️🎂✈️🍻

Yesterday afternoon, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and gathered outside for a Millers BBQ. It was a fantastic opportunity to step away from our desks, enjoy some food in the sunshine, and catch up with fellow members from across the building.

One of the things that makes The Mill special is the community here. Whether it’s sharing ideas, making new connections, or simply having a chat over a burger, it’s always great to see people coming together.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such an enjoyable afternoon. We were delighted to see so many Millers taking a well-earned break and making the most of the sunshine while it lasted! 🍔☀️

What an fantastic day at our sell out Business Beyond Borders UK event on 21 May!

Business Beyond Borders UK brought together a full house of founders, leaders and partners, creating real momentum for cross-border growth.

The day kicked off with Sinead O’Riordan, Head of Partnerships , setting the stage for a day full of insight and opportunity. She was followed by Ronan Whitty, CEO of The Mill, and Owen Desmond Strategic Finance Director at Coca-Cola, who welcomed everyone and expressed their support for the local business community.

Our first keynote speaker, Ambassador Kara Owen, opened with a couple of Irish words, instantly connecting with the audience and fun fact: she’s married to a Galway man! From the very first moment, it was clear how much she genuinely wants to support Irish businesses. Her excitement for Drogheda and the surrounding area was infectious.

Ambassador Kara Owen met the team at The Mill Enterprise Hub Drogheda and then went on a tour of Drogheda town. Her talk was not only inspiring but also highly practical for any business looking to expand into the UK. She highlighted the support available, shared insights into the UK market, and celebrated the number of unicorn companies thriving there.

A big thank you to everyone who made today possible, our expert speakers Sinead O’Riordan, John O’Loughlin, Eamon Tuhami, Gerard Teahon, Jeanne Kelly, Alex Jones-Casey, Graham O’Rourke, Nikki Campbell, Jason Gaynor and a big shout-out to Coca-Cola, who are always supporting the local community and business initiatives in Drogheda.
