One of the highlights of Local Enterprise Week in County Monaghan will be our flagship seminar on Wednesday 6th March, An Economic Forecast with Dr Vincent Power from A&L Goodbody, who will examine what Brexit might mean for Monaghan businesses. As a partner in the firm specialising in EU las, EU & Irish competition/antitrust law, merger control, regulatory law and transport law, this gives him a unique perspective on all matters related to Brexit. This will be followed by a Q&A session with a panel of experts in the field of customs, product supply chain and people movement. This is a free event , but places are limited so booking is essential.
Another highlight of the week will be when we are joined by Imen McDonald and Cliodhna Prendergast from Lens & Larder on Monday 4th March, who will deliver a hands-on workshop on food photography and styling. This masterclass will give participants the skills to take mouth-watering pictures of their produce with their smartphones for use on social media. Places are limited so early booking is advised.
