Damien Kennedy is a native of Cork City and his entrepreneurial journey began in 2010 when he first purchased a homemade icecream on eBay. Since then, Damien and his business partner Greg Duggan have launched WheyHey, a high-protein, sugar free ice cream.
Last year, WheyHey ice cream sold more than 1million pots in Europe and is set to sell 4 million this year and double again in 2017. WheyHey is already selling fast in the Middle East and due to export into Australia this year, with fans including Richard Branson (who awarded the product Virgin Pioneer status) One Direction and many more.
WheyHey recently scooped the Great Britain Start-Up of the Year (previous winners were Innocent drinks and Green & Blacks chocolate) and it has also been recognised as a first Irish Future Leader by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.
Damien will talk to Cork Chamber members about his incredible journey, the scaling up of his brand and the future for WheyHey in Europe and the US over the next few years.
