Flying the flag for Irish design and ethical manufacturing over the weekend was Grainne Campbell and her daughter Ciara Campbell of GEFF Ireland, based in Stranorlar, Co. Donegal.
As GEFF Sport distributor in Ireland since 2016, Grainne supplies high specification, ethically manufactured sportswear into clubs, teams and institutions all around the world, across all sport disciplines.
This weekend Grainne was the official provider of custom design event merchandise at the Continental Europe and Asia Oireachtas held this year in France through her own Irish brand developed for Irish Dancing (and inspired by her daughter); Rhythm Nation.
Attended by competitors from over 28 countries, this will be the third time Rhythm Nation have designed for this event, held previously in Italy and Germany. As a result, Grainne’s designs can be found across the world, from Hong Kong, to Slovakia, Australia to the United States and closer to home in Ireland and the UK.
A graduate of LYIT and more recently Trinity College Dublin, Grainne pays tribute to the support from the team in the Donegal Local Enterprise Office, who are tireless in their support of new and growing enterprises; “starting and growing your business can be challenging but with the support of the Donegal LEO you and your business can be better prepared to take advantage of opportunities quickly, efficiently and with more positive outcomes”.
Choose GEFF Ireland for customised Irish designs, manufactured ethically in Europe with free design and shipping within 11 working days. Individual personalisation included in the design with no minimum order quantity restrictions.

With an extensive catalogue spanning all sports (athletics, basketball, volleyball, football, golf, cycling), GEFF can provide permanent replacements (in case you lose an item!) and online club stores for easy ordering and payment.
“Ethical manufacturing of Irish designs and a transparent supply chain is important for us as an Irish business,” Grainne said.
