Barra Sweetnam is the Managing Director of Allfresh, the largest wholesaler in Cork. Having grown up surrounded by the fruit and veg industry thanks to his father's involvement, Barra initially agreed to help cover shifts for a few months in Limerick, but he has never left since. One of his biggest achievements as the owner of Allfresh has been surviving the first 10 financially unstable years and growing the company over the last five years. Getting Fota Hotel as one of their orders was another significant success. We got them over the internationals! It helped Allfresh hugely as we went to new lengths to supply for them. However, the challenges faced by the Covid-19 pandemic were psychologically and financially horrible for the company, especially during the first lockdown. Despite the difficulties, Barra was able to see some positives, such as the effort put in by the staff to implement a new online ordering system and to do extra charity work. “ Barra's best piece of advice is to always work harder than everyone else, as hard work beats talent. ”
