The seven-time All-Ireland winner’s brother, Paddy is another colleague and outgoing Rebels hero Patrick Horgan is coming aboard as well.
The company is part of Guaranteed Irish’s new campaign entitled ‘Are You in The Guaranteed Irish Club?’
It calls on its business members who are actively involved in their local GAA club to take part in a nationwide community reward programme.
The initiative is designed to recognise and reward Guaranteed Irish member businesses that give back to their communities
This year four businesses will win €5,000 for their chosen GAA club, a special gift for the club’s under-14 team, and an exclusive photocall at Croke Park.
And Small knows how much community and GAA links matter for small Irish businesses like theirs.
He said: “A good friend of mine from Ballymun Kickhams, Keith Donohoe set it up as a one-man-band in 2017 and I was the first employee. It’s a good success story and it’s just gone from strength to strength.
“And now by the end of this year, we should have 24 staff and 45 agents nationwide, and we’ve got 18,000 customers.

“So, it’s been really, really good. It’s really GAA orientated, as you can imagine and Dessie Farrell does a bit of the advisory stuff as well.
“We’re an energy consultancy, so we’re the largest broker in the country and we leverage the GAA connections. We’re very lucky that it’s doing well.”
