Brexit seminar

HAI’s AGM took place in Citywest on Thursday 25th May and was followed by a Brexit Seminar presented by Owen McFeely, Senior Manager in Consulting at PwC with a panel discussion including guest panellist John Lynch, General Manager of Rosslare Port; Maxi McCreary from Topline McCrearys; Patrick Doyle from Halo Tiles & Bathrooms; Michael O’Donohoe from Wavin and Mike Glennon from Glennon Brothers.

With so many unknowns and general speculation still abound as well as a UK general election to take place, it was interesting to hear how members would be impacted and measures they were taking to ensure their voice was heard and how they were preparing to adapt.
