. For me its about being an entrepreneur in a high tech world and making organisations better.. & online learning!
So turns out Michael’s is, after all, Dublin’s best kept restaurant secret. Makes me feel better that my mum is secretly (not so secretly) in love with
@MichaelsCoDub
Amazing couple of days with the team
@MichaelsCoDub
loads to learn, lots of laughs and a couple of pints here and there. Certainly not a cookery course… more a chance to reaffirm what’s great in life with fantastic people. Oh… and I cooked a lobster! Thanks guys!

Couldn’t be prouder of team
@LearningPool
We took a face to face learning event online and delivered it to almost 1,000 people in 20 countries in a matter of days. New bar for global distance learning?
Big day
@learningpool
as we welcome our new strategic investor
@MarlinEquity
to help us write the next chapter of our story. It’ll be exciting... of that I’m sure!
A very generous description of a very, very scrappy story. Summary is ‘find somewhere awesome, convince great people to come along, work hard, never give up...’ the rest is luck!
Today's Sunday Times shares the success story behind
@LearningPool
and
@mcelvaney
- and why Derry is such a great place to live and invest. Thanks Sandra O'Connell for writing it!

Delighted to welcome
@bbetts

to the

Delighted that
@LearningPool
has made the Deloitte Fast50 list for the 10th straight year (I think). Look forward to finding out our placing on Wednesday.
I’ve been visiting west Donegal since I was 3. This beach was a mile away and I never knew it existed. Maybe the opportunity in all the madness is for us to find the things that have been hiding in plain sight?
I couldn’t be prouder in
@LearningPool
achieving ‘world class’ status here. Great way to start our upcoming recruitment campaign. We’re hiring 100 people in the next year... wow
We are over the moon to have received the 3-star accreditation from

This is literally the golden ticket for anyone starting a career in tech. The team who run this programme are patient, generous, smart and funny. Probably one of the best things we’ve ever achieved
@learningpool
is this programme. What are you waiting for?
Delighted by this - we've asked the
@learningpool
team to step up more than ever in the last 12 months. They did... and engagement has gotten even better than before. Remarkable people

One of the best bits of growing a global team is seeing the new colleagues react to the capacity of Irish people to talk.. and talk... and talk. Its hilarious!
