Banbridge Entrepreneurs Taking the Country Wear World by Storm

Carla Lockhart MP • October 9, 2024

Banbridge-based business Gunner and Hound is quickly making a name for itself in the world of country wear. Founded by three local women, the company specialises in high-quality, stylish pieces designed and made right here in Banbridge.

The entrepreneurial trio behind Gunner and Hound have turned their passion for country wear into a thriving business, with their products already attracting attention from shoppers across the region.


Speaking about the company’s growing success, MP Carla Lockhart commented: 

“It’s incredible to see this homegrown business making such an impact. Gunner and Hound is a perfect example of local talent and entrepreneurship thriving in Banbridge. It’s not just about their stylish products, but the pride they take in creating something unique and rooted in our community.


Gunner and Hound’s success is a reminder of the importance of supporting local businesses and the fantastic potential that exists within Northern Ireland’s entrepreneurial community. I stumbled on their success following a purchase of one of their gilets. I alway if possible try to shop local. I wish the girls every success and look forward to seeing them advance their business.”
