A Wexford craft and design entrepreneur won a national title at the Business of Craft Awards during the Local Enterprise Showcase Exhibition at Showcase 2026 in Dublin’s RDS.
Kate Doyle, founder of EcoKinly in Enniscorthy and client of the Local Enterprise Office Wexford, was crowned Sustainability Champion 2026, recognising her exceptional commitment to creating high‑quality, reusable products that promote sustainable living for families across Ireland.
EcoKinly stood out among finalists from across the country for its innovative range of reusable nappies, wipes, period pads and other thoughtfully designed essentials that help reduce household waste without compromising on comfort, convenience, or style.
Speaking after the awards ceremony, Breege Cosgrave, Head of Enterprise and Economic Development at Wexford County Council, said: “We are incredibly proud to see a Wexford business take home a national title at the Business of Craft Awards. Kate Doyle and EcoKinly is an outstanding example of innovation, sustainability and purpose‑driven business in action. This recognition places EcoKinly firmly on the radar of international buyers and highlights the strength of Wexford’s design and craft sector.”
