What a journey it has been!

Friday 30th of May marked the final day of the 2nd LEO Dublin Export Sales & Technical Development Programme, and it has been a privilege to work with such an incredible cohort. Over the course of this programme, 12 ambitious Irish food and drink businesses have developed their export strategies, built their financial models, identified their target markets, and prepared their products for shelves and menus across the UK, Europe, and beyond.
