THERE was a huge crowd at The Rose Hotel on Friday night as a well-known and respected businesswoman held the launch of her autobiography.
‘Survive and Thrive: The Journey of a Lifetime’ by Breeda Hurley, the owner of ABC Cleaning Services, the successful contract cleaning company, tells how she learned to face the challenges of a childhood of poverty to become a successful businesswoman, employer and public speaker.
Friends, family and well-wishers were present in the Lee Suite to see renowned writer Billy Keane launch the book, which gives a fascinating insight into the world of a woman who, over the journey of a lifetime, has juggled the demands of family and business life, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding but never, ever giving up.
She writes with honesty, compassion and humour as she describes a life that, at times, tested her to her very limits.
The book can be purchased in local book stores or online at breedahurleycommunications.com. Scroll down for photos…
