Seamus Hand, Managing Partner, KPMG Ireland, spoke at the launch of the 2020 Business & Finance Awards Programme earlier this month, saying: “The Business & Finance Awards in association with KPMG, recognises great leaders, outstanding business people and high performing organisations. The past year has been incredibly challenging and the resilience of Irish business leaders has been remarkable and is to be commended. We’re very proud to be associated once again with these awards.”
Ian Hyland, publisher of Business & Finance, welcomed the launch of the Business & Finance Awards Programme, saying: “I’m delighted to continue the tradition of honouring the business leaders across the country and to celebrate the perseverance and innovation of the business community.”
The first event in the 2020 Business & Finance Awards Programme was the New Horizons webinar which took place mid-January with a panel including Peter Hendrick, CEO National Broadband Ireland, Kari Daniels, CEO Tesco Ireland and Cian Ó Maidín, CEO of NearForm who reflected on a most extraordinary year. They shared their insights and lessons learnt, and looked at the impact of the workforce evolution and new ways of doing business.
