This is the 40th year of Enterprise Ireland’s Student Entrepreneur Awards, which are co-sponsored by Cruickshank, Grant Thornton, and the Local Enterprise Offices.
The awards are open to all third-level institutions across the country.


Young Entrepreneur and Limerick lady Marion Cantillon won The Cruickshank High Achieving Merit Award for her start-up Pit-Seal.
Representing University College Cork, she received a prize of €5,000 for her biofilm which eliminates the need for farmers to use plastic or tires to seal pits and reduces methane emissions.


The Grant Thornton High Achieving Merit Award and €5,000 went to Pure Clothing, the socially responsible clothing brand created by Dublin City University student Peter Timlin and University of Limerick student Richard Grimes.


While Trinity College Dublin students Tim Farrelly and David Deneher along with Omar Salem, a student at Queen’s University Belfast, have won Enterprise Ireland’s 2021 Student Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
