Limerick Chamber hosted their Spring Business Lunch on Brexit, Tuesday 25th April in the Castletroy Park Hotel attended by 150 leading business people. The event was kindly sponsored by Ulster Bank and focused on the challenges of Brexit.
Dr. Stephen Kinsella, Economics Lecturer with the University of Limerick was the Guest Speaker. Stephen said that in order to succeed with Brexit, you need to gain control of your costings, leverage your unique selling point, diversify and effectively plan and prepare for change. Also, effectively your business needs to have a UK base to facilitate this. He also noted that Belgium not UK, as most people think, is our largest export partner so therefore Ireland will not be leaving the EU anytime soon and Ireland are the largest English speaking country in the EU.
A panel discussion followed lunch, featuring Declan Daly, Senior Manager from Ulster Bank, Trevor Byrnes, CFO from Roadbridge and Eoin Ryan, Managing Director from the Galtee Group which focused on how they have adapted to the challenging business environment. There was a lively text polling session of Q & A’s targeted at the panel of speakers.
