from ThinkBusiness.ie · host ThinkBusiness

EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 finalist Karl Fitzpatrick didn't get the Leaving Cert results he wanted. But he didn't let the exam results define his life. Today, the owner of Chevron College leads a business that is on track to record €20m revenues and €3m in profit this year and that employs 150 staff and educates 15,000 students. He demonstrates how he turned his Leaving Cert disappointment into entrepreneurial success throughout a life where he never stopped learning.Visit www.thinkbusiness.ie for more news and supports for start-ups and SMEs in Ireland.
