THE owner of the popular Redlane boutique in Tramore says she is ready for a 'new direction' after announcing the closure of her business from October 2.

Catherine Keighery has given 18 "very rewarding" years to Redlane but is now moving into a new career in the digital marketing area, she told Damien Tiernan this morning (Tuesday) on Deise Today.

'Redlane' boutique opened in Tramore in 2005 but the the shop itself closed in March 2021 and Catherine transitioned then to online-only.

She told Damien this morning that she has amassed a massive client base of up to 200,000 customers over the years and is hugely grateful for the support and loyalty shown to Redlane in that time.

However, she said she'd been thinking about a change for some time now and it was time to begin a new chapter.
