Ernest Cantillon

Director, Kinsale Spirit Co & Electric Cork

I have extensive experience in the hospitality and beverage sectors having owned and directed bars and restaurants for over 10 years.

I am a former president of the Cork Business Association and a graduate of Commerce in University College Cork. I have an in-depth knowledge of both the operational and financial aspects of businesses in the hospitality sector, along with the leadership skills required to run a successful business.

I have a passion for organising festivals which has resulted in the business Festival Crew. However my passion is not limited to these sectors as I have an interest in all types of business.
