Consultancy
I'm James Donnelly, co-founder of Pomp & Co., an Irish men's grooming brand exporting to 10+ countries, and the operator of a 125-year-old barbershop group in Ireland. I've built a product brand from scratch — manufacturing, compliance, logistics, international distribution — and run a multi-site barbershop business at the same time.
If you're starting out or trying to get organised, I can help with the practical stuff most people get wrong early on.
I work with people on three things:
- Opening a barbershop, hairdressers or spa — site setup, systems, staffing structure, software, what it actually costs and what to expect
- Starting a grooming or beauty product brand — manufacturing, packaging, compliance, pricing, getting your first orders
- Logistics and export — freight, warehouse setup, distributor agreements, international compliance and regulatory requirements
This isn't marketing advice. It's operational — the nuts and bolts of building something that actually runs.
