This Friday's episode of The Late Late Show on RTÉ will see an annual favourite return as the entertainment show shines the light on a number of Irish businesses in the run up to Christmas.
Every year as we tick towards the festive season, an entire episode of the show sees host Ryan Tubridy speaking to a number of entrepreneurs and founders of some lesser-known names on the market.
This year will be no different, as no fewer than 16 businesses will be highlighted on the RTE One show.
Hundreds of companies answered the call from Ryan back in October with their best pitches from across the country.
The Taking Care of Business special will also see some previous names who have featured in the past return to share the impact it had on their product and businesses.
On top of that, Sculpted by Aimee's Aimee Connolly will be on the show to talk about how her part-time job on the shop floor helped her create a multi-million-euro business.
Award-winning architectural designer Hugh Wallace will introduce a range of cutting-edge Irish design products for the home.
Professor Luke O'Neil will champion some innovative technological products and will also discuss his enduring love of science and what exactly makes us human.
Anna Haugh , one of Ireland’s leading culinary talents, will introduce us to some amazing Irish food products in the Taking Care of Business Special.
Three deserving businesses will each be surprised with a €15,000 bursary as well as plenty of surprises along with familiar faces on the night.
There will also be music from 21-year-old pianist Jamie Duffy from Co Monaghan, after becoming an overnight sensation on TikTok with his composition Solas.
