Pawpear wins Waterford National Enterprise Award – Waterford City & County Council
Waterford City & County Council announced Pawpear as Waterford’s winner in the National Enterprise Awards. The awards celebrate the best of the Local Enterprise Office client portfolio around the country. The announcement highlights Pawpear’s growth from a one-woman studio in Knockanore into a brand stocked across Ireland and beyond, and its colourful, Irish-language-inspired designs. The Mayor of Waterford and Gareth Evans of Local Enterprise Office Waterford both congratulated Kim, who went on to represent Waterford at the national final in June 2026.
