Tuam's N17 brewer in bid to impress Virgin boss Branson

TUAM entrepreneur and craft brewer Sarah Roarty will be among a group of 160 businesses vying for the chance to pitch their businesses to Sir Richard Branson, as the Voom 2016 event gets underway in London today (Wednesday).
Sarah’s N17 brewery has reached the Pitchathon stage of the competition, where over two days, entrepreneurs who have made it this far will have three minutes to secure a place in the semi-final.
The competition is split into two groups, start up and grow, with the winner of each category awarded a £250,000 sterling ad campaign and £50,000 in cash along with social media and PR support, a broadband and telecoms package, mentoring, and financial advice.
