Most of Aidan’s time has been spent focusing on the financials of these companies but what is more fascinating to him is how companies operate, how the entrepreneurs started them, and the business people/managements who run them. But as with most things, a work/life balance is essential, so it won’t just be about the professional developments they have made through the years, but also the personal ones. Aidan Donnelly, Head of Equities at Davy, has been working in, analysing, and investing in companies for decades. He has 27 years’ investment management experience. He joined Davy in 2005 and has worked as an analyst/fund manager for a range of global equity funds and is now responsible for the direct equity offering at Davy.

He created Coffee Culture in 2009, which specialised in Coffee Education and Training. He travelled around the country helping aspiring and new cafe owners with their business development and growth. In 2015, Alan bought The Old Barracks in Birdhill which is a place for the coffee curious and proved a hit from the start as locals and tourists who came to enjoy the experience. The retail side of the business grew as they were able to provide delicious coffee for home as well as education to ensure customers were creating a similar level at home. In January 2022, Alan secured a warehouse on the Dock Road in Limerick City and opened its doors in July 2022. Alan intends to turn this into an open source coffee education building with total transparency for customers to see the coffee making process and learn all about coffee. An estimated €1.5m will be spent to complete the project with the aim of launching the new offering early 2026. In 2024, Alan launched Ireland's first ever destination coffee festival - The Birdhill Coffee festival which will run again this June from 27-29th. This is the 53rd episode with guest Alan Andrews, Owner at The Old Barracks Coffee Roasters & GUJI Coffee Bars, in the Davy podcast series ‘Everyday Business with Aidan Donnelly’.","meta_description":"Alan Andrews is widely regarded as a cafe and coffee expert and features prominently in both radio and print media.
