Making Irish remote work local, insights with Rose Barrett, Grow Remote

For the latest podcast we chat with Rose Barrett, Co-Founder and Community Manager with Grow Remote, a nonprofit with the mission of making remote work local. Growing up in a small pub in the West of Ireland meant that community has been in her veins from early on. Now being involved in a social enterprise that connects people and knowledge, Rose is helping to enable our communities to embrace the benefits of remote working.

Who we are

We’re a group of community people who started a WhatsApp group in 2018 when we were curious about remote work and how that could help our communities.

We grew into 4 countries, a CLG (Not for Profit) and have 60+ local chapter leads using remote work as a tool for community development.

The Meitheal is at the core of Grow Remote, meaning we were built by many hands over the past few years. In 2019, we raised government funding so that we could dedicate a team to continuing the community’s good work. Today, the board and executive team make up Grow Remote Ireland, a Company Limited By Guarantee.
