Janna Mullaney of Sleepy Chicken, the online store selling items from women-owned brands, has won the overall Businesswoman of the Year Award at the Female Founder Awards, which took place at the Maryborough Hotel, Cork.

The awards were hosted by The Club Women's Network to celebrate the achievements of seven businesswomen, including Mullaney, who said: "I am so delighted to be recognised so early in my business journey.

"The Club has been a huge part of the growth of Sleepy Chicken. I am shocked by this award and so grateful for the network I’ve built.“

Sian Horn, founder of The Club Women's Network, said, “The response was phenomenal for those who nominated themselves and from those who nominated others.

"Support and learning is what the club is all about and these awards have been the perfect example of that”.
