Jennifer Lehane: A Local Star’s Journey from Ashbourne to Paris 2024

Jennifer Lehane’s upcoming representation of Ireland at the Paris 2024 Games marks an extraordinary milestone, not just in her career but for our entire community in Ashbourne. 

Grimes & EBS Ashbourne family reflect on this remarkable achievement, they see inspiring parallels between Jennifer’s journey and their own story.

Jennifer’s rise from being a dedicated teacher at St. Mary’s National School to an international athlete echoes the path of growth and success that the Grimes family has experienced. The Grimes brothers—Robert, Paul, and Dermot—also began their educational journey at St. Mary’s, a place that has been central to both their personal and professional lives.

Grimes story started in 1971 when Grimes parents opened the first office in Ashbourne. Over the years, they have watched our hometown grow and evolve, much like Jennifer’s incredible ascent in her career. Her journey from the classrooms of St. Mary’s to the global arena of the Paris Games is a testament to her hard work and perseverance.

At Grimes & EBS Ashbourne, we are honoured to support Jennifer as she pursues her lifelong dream. Her success reflects not only her dedication but also the strength and progress of our community. As Jennifer steps into the spotlight in Paris, we celebrate her achievements and stand proudly behind her.

Jennifer, we wish you all the best on this incredible journey. Your success is a source of immense pride for us all!

Warmest regards from the team at Grimes & EBS Ashbourne. 🌟🥊
