Bank of Ireland to partner with Blas na hEireann for “Backyard at Blas”

September 8, 2017 by Irish Food Awards

Innovation and networking space comes to the 10th Blas na hEireann Irish Food Awards

Bank of Ireland and Blas na hEireann are partnering to create “Backyard at Blas”, a new innovative breakout space and networking venue at the 10th Blas na hEireann Irish Food Awards.

The “Backyard at Blas” is part of the ever expanding events and opportunities which are central to Blas na hEireann. The Backyard at Blas, in the heart of Dingle, will host a series of talks and networking events are scheduled on the Friday 29th September and Saturday 30th September.

The partnership came about from the highly successful Bank of Ireland’s Food Series which takes place each month in the Bank’s Workbench & Community Branch in Limerick. The initiative aims to educate, celebrate and promote all that’s good about local Irish food. In addition to the Food Series being held in Limerick’s start up space, these events will also be rolled out in Cork and Galway’s Workbenches.

Speakers will include well known chefs, buyers and industry experts offering valuable and insightful advice during interactive sessions with finalist producers. Read more on the line up

Speaking on the partnership, Liam Sheedy, Director of Munster, Bank of Ireland said, “Bank of Ireland are absolutely delighted to partner with Blas na hEireann to bring the Backyard at Blas to this year’s awards. Bank of Ireland has always played an active role in supporting food, agri and hospitality businesses and our partnership with Blas na hEireann will further strengthen that support. Bank of Ireland is very keen to support businesses with their ambitions and plan. Initiatives like Backyard at Blas and our dedicated Innovation Team and Workbench Branches provide us with a platform to do so. We would encourage everyone to pop along on the day and use the space to make connections that can further your business potential.”

“Blas are delighted to partner with Bank of Ireland to bring this exciting new venue where producers can meet fellow producers, gain knowledge and share their experiences” said the Awards Chairperson, Artie Clifford.
