Business Matters Ep 140 – Stevie Toye & Patrick Stewart

On this week’s Business Matters, Ciaran O’Donnell is joined by Letterkenny-based graphic designer and photographer, Stevie Toye, and the owner of Ards Coffee Tree, Patrick Stewart.

After graduating from Letterkenny IT, Stevie Toye worked as a graphic designer for a number of local newspapers and Browne’s Printers in Letterkenny before branching out on his own. He covered his first wedding as a paid photographer in 2017 and in February he was named Irish Wedding Photographer of the Year for 2023.

Patrick Stewart opened Ards Coffee Tree in Ards Forest Park along with his wife, Karen, in 2017.  The lockdowns in 2020 saw a notable rise in the number of visitors to Ards Forest Park, and that increase in footfall held firm in 2021 and 2022. Much of Ards Coffee Tree stock is sourced locally, with its full range of tray bakes supplied by An Panc Patisserie in Falcarragh.
