Stephen McCammon is the Managing Director and owner of Menarys, the historic department store chain with a story that goes back over 103 years.

Stephen shares the story behind Menarys, from its beginnings in Dungannon in 1923 to becoming one of Northern Ireland’s most recognised family retail businesses, now with 25 stores in 2026.

He talks about the ring that reminds him where it all began, growing up during the Troubles, surviving bomb damage, the credit crunch, Covid, and the collapse of Arcadia.

Stephen also opens up about leadership, succession, rebuilding after setbacks, and why Menarys still believes in the high street, community, and the people on the shop floor.

This is a powerful conversation about family business, retail resilience, and what it really takes to keep going when everything around you is changing.

Darragh Ennis is best known as The Menace on ITV’s hit quiz show The Chase, where he quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his intelligence, warmth and down to earth personality. But before television, Darragh spent years working as a neuroscientist in Oxford, and his journey to becoming a Chaser all started because he needed money for a new back door.

Darragh is open and honest about life behind the scenes of The Chase, dealing with grief after losing his father, the pressure of being in the public eye, and why kindness matters more than success or money. He also shares powerful advice on memory, learning, social media, reading, fear, confidence and making the most of life.

This is a conversation full of heart, humour and perspective, and one of Darragh’s most open interviews yet.
