Following receiving a Degree in History and Politics at UCD, Jacquie’s first exposure to the food business was as a Management Graduate with McDonalds during their growth phase in the early 80’s. Marsh then went onto work within companies in a growth/diversification phase such as Next and PJ Carrolls plc. Occupying herself in a very diverse range of positions where business growth and development and pursuit of excellence were always the central theme.

Marsh then spent 10 years consulting high potential start up businesses until the opportunity arose in 2000 to acquire a share in a company which she believed had huge potential and to which she could apply her expertise in business development, marketing and business excellence.

In her constant pursuit of excellence Marsh has brought home numerous business awards the most recent being The Butler’s Patnry’s place as a national finalist in last year’s European Business Awards.
