Paul Harmon was made redundant last November. He received job offers in Dublin and in the UK but decided that it was time for him to make a life choice and set up his own business.
Paul set up “Electric Escapes” that give bike tours around the beautiful Westport, Newport and Croagh Patrick region. But instead of the tourist puffing and panting during the tour they will be on bikes that can run on electricity also, so the tourist has the best of both worlds!
Paul has been an employee most of his life so setting up the business and making sure it will run smoothly on all sides has been a massive learning curve.
This week Peter Young and Paul McCarthy mentor him in sales, marketing, finances and negotiating with suppliers and tour operators who would want to use his unique tour service.
