Best places to work in Ireland 2025 revealed
A fter finishing a science degree four years ago, Sarah Kenny joined the graduate programme of the fledgling but fast-growing Tipperary-based school meals provider the Lunch Bag.
She was aiming to get some experience in nutrition but discovered her talents lay elsewhere. Now head of HR, the 26-year-old says: 'I got to go out on the road and get a feel for the culture and the impact that our company was having, and I realised that my biggest strength was with talking to people and trying to drive people to be their best.'
The Lunch Bag, which has earned a place on our Sunday Times Ireland Best Places to Work 2025 list, started in just one school in 2019 and now has 750 staff providing hot lunches to 100,000 primary school children across Ireland.
