Born together, business partners forever. Over the last nine years entrepreneurial Banbridge twins Aaron and Andrew Burns have built themselves a remarkable business empire, now based in the heart of Markethill.
This is Part Three in a four-part series of podcasts featuring young entrepreneurs, sponsored by the Armagh Credit Union. Sign up to our NI Entrepreneur newsletter here.
Astute and ambitious, the twins recognised their own set of skills early on and kick-started their journey into self-employment by leaning into what they were most passionate about, sports and nutrition, and established a multi-sports coaching company, Burns Skills School, in 2013.
