Enniskillen Photoshop
Run by husband and wife team Justin and Sabrina McConnell, along with a small staff they consider family, Enniskillen Photoshop provides a professional yet friendly service to the local community, always offering their expertise with a smile.
While the family have had to overcome some challenges in recent years, the Enniskillen Photoshop team have continued pulled together to ensure their high standards never slipped.
With three young children who are the businesses’ biggest ambassadors and already keen to help out, there’s little doubt Enniskillen Photoshop will be in the family for generations to come.
Rooney’s Eurospar
Rooney’s Eurospar has grown to become a local institution over the past 50 years, attracting customers from across Enniskillen and beyond to its base on the Cornagrade Road.
The operation is very much a family affair. Father Martin is still going strong in the shop at 73, while his sons Timmy and James run the store, and siblings Katie and Marty run the adjoining Michael’s Diner.
With a loyal and long-serving staff, and the next generation already helping out over the holidays, the future looks bright for this half-century-old famous family business.
Crabtree Cottage Online
For the past 30 years Crabtree Cottage has been growing and evolving under Daphne McCrabbe.
Starting out as a home interiors shop in Enniskillen, before branching out into fashion, 13 years ago Daphne took the business online.
This evolution has been driven in recent years by the involvement of Daphne’s digital-savvy daughters Holly and more recently Rebecca who returned to the business after university to help drive it into the social media age.
With Holly and Rebecca on board, the family are working together to continue to grow Crabtree, with plenty of exciting plans in the pipeline.

Even their breaks are dominated by shop talk, with the family making most of their big decisions over 10 o’clock tea, coming up with ideas to continue to grow and invest in the business.
With four-year-old grandson Michael already showing an interest, Skip Services Enniskillen will be in the family for many years to come.
