After working with her husband for two years, Pippa O'Connor has THIS to say about it

Could you go into business with your partner?

Lots of us would probably say no – but not Pippa O’Connor.

Pippa this week celebrated two years of her lifestyle brand Poco, which she started with husband Brian Ormond in 2016.

Sharing a cute video of herself and Brian to Instagram to mark the milestone, she said that she’d encourage anyone to go into business with their other half.

“What a flippin journey it’s been .. so so proud of it all!,” she wrote.

“Proud of feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

“People always ask me what it’s like working with your husband.. well!! I’d highly recommend it.”

Poco this week opened its latest pop-up shop, this time in Dublin’s Liffey Valley Shopping Centre.

The brand, which includes high-end denims, candles and personal organisers, has been enormously successful since its launch and is just one of Pippa’s business ventures.

The savvy influencer also runs her Fashion Factory events and regularly collaborates with major brands like Littlewoods and Lanai.

Accounts filed by Pippa’s company Ronnoco Collection Ltd show that the business recorded profits of €853,536 in the 15 months to the end of September 2017.
