Class of 2007
Image Magazine, November 2007PROPERTY LADDER BERNADETTE CUNNINGHAM, DIRECTOR, THORNSETT GROUP
In a business dominated by arguements over who’s got the biggest tower, the International property game appears to have all the femininity of a rugby club dressing room, But Longford born and London based Bernadette - the thirty something neice of developers Gerard and Denis Cunningham and the only female director in the firm - makes it an advantage, helping redesign properties like a 124 unit development in London’s Clerkenwell. Bernadette pays more attention to the security and built in shoe racks the punters want and less drooling over the JCB they’ll never see. This year saw this MBA clinch her biggest deal yet - an €80 million development in Brussels with Starwood Hotels.
