Donna McNeill with her Newry Chamber Employee and Team awards

2024 has been a breakthrough year for Camlough businesswoman and entrepreneur Donna McNeill. Donna has capped off the year with a series of impressive achievements. From securing two prestigious awards to gracing the cover of Local Women Magazine, her dedication to innovation and leadership in the beauty industry is making waves.

Donna's biggest highlight came at the Newry Chamber Awards, where she was named "New Entrepreneur of the Year,"a recognition that celebrates her exceptional vision, creativity, and commitment to excellence. In addition to this honour, Donna and her team at Archie Lloyd’s Hair Extensions took home four additional certificates, showcasing their collective effort and passion for pushing boundaries in the world of beauty and business.

"Seeing Donna's growth and success is truly inspiring," said Aimee Morgan, Head of Marketing at Archie Lloyd’s Hair Extensions. "She has set a powerful example for women everywhere, encouraging them to strive for more and breaking new ground as a role model for aspiring entrepreneurs."

A Year of Milestones

In 2024, Archie Lloyd’s Hair Extensions also celebrated a major win at the Mighty Women Awards, being named the Best Training Academy of the Year. This achievement has fuelled Donna’s determination to expand the training academy in 2025, with plans to bring even more online hair extension courses and educational opportunities to Europe and the USA.

Donna also made a splash with the launch of a new and improved website, designed to spotlight the brand's wide range of high-quality hair extension products. Alongside the digital expansion, she introduced new shades to the Archie Lloyd’s collection, ensuring that the brand can cater to even more clients' unique needs.

Empowering Women Through Beauty and Business

Donna said "Archie Lloyd’s Hair Extensions is all about helping women of all ages rediscover their confidence.

"Whether it’s by enhancing their look with our premium Russian hair extensions or empowering them to start their own business through our award-winning training academy, we’re here to inspire and uplift."

Looking ahead to 2025, Donna hinted at even bigger plans for her brand: “Expect to see Archie Lloyd’s Hair Extensions making an even greater impact worldwide. We’re partnering with inspiring women locally to share their stories of how our products make them feel empowered, and our training academy is growing like never before. Plus, we’ve got some very exciting product launches on the horizon.”
