Big Red Book recently had a chance to catch up with Theresa from Clonee Sawmills to find out what it’s like running a business with three generations of experience and what she likes in her down time.
Big Red Book
Theresa, please tell us a bit about Clonee Sawmills and its history?

Big Red Book
What’s one piece of advice you would give to someone starting up?
Theresa
Customers need to trust you. Never make promises you can’t deliver on and never blame others for not delivering on your promise.
Big Red Book
Can you mention one time you pulled out all the stops for a customer?
Theresa
Honestly no because we try to pull out all the stops for every single customer.
Big Red Book
Who is your favourite business hero?
Theresa
Denis O’Brien, he admits to his business mistakes and has learnt from them. Now he’s a world player who promotes philanthropy, Ireland and also supports the Ireland soccer team no matter what!
Big Red Book
What’s your favourite app on your smartphone?
Theresa
Drop box because its so easy to share photos and files
Big Red Book
Tell us your favourite film and why?
Theresa
The Matrix! The scene when he pulls out the filing cabinet, the deja vu when the cat walks by….I still check my back to see if I’ve been plugged in!
Big Red Book
Why did you choose Big Red Book?
Theresa
We chose Big Red Book for its simplicity. The benefit we find is that members who are not computer literate can use BRB with ease.
