New Member Welcome! BornZippyZippy was created by Aoife Cotter, a mum of two boys, inspired by her journey raising a son with Down syndrome and autism. After struggling to find practical, comfortable clothing in Ireland that met her son’s needs, Aoife set out to create a better solution for families like hers. Born Zippy offers colourful, fun and thoughtfully designed adaptive clothing for children with additional needs, including pyjamas with back zips, sensory-friendly fabrics and easy-to-remove tags. Focused on comfort, independence and accessibility, Born Zippy is helping make adaptive clothing a priority - supporting children and reducing stress for parents every day.

One of the advantages of being a member of ISME Ireland is access to fantastic deals offered by other members. The Halligan Insurances ISME Group Life Plan launches today to ISME member companies - providing protection to staff by paying out a lump sum to employees next of kin in the event of death in service. This cover is not available to the general public and is rated specifically for ISME member companies. This amazing offer expires at the end of this month, so act fast!
One of the reasons I joined ISME was being able to work with entrepreneurs like Brian Halligan, MD of Halligan Insurance, who creates offers like these to the ISME members.
