‘Alternative Sources of Finance’ Meet the Experts

‘Alternative Sources of Finance’, the first in a series of events by Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and BDO under their ‘Accelerate for Growth’ initiative, took place on 6 November in Belfast’s Holiday Inn.
Following the findings from the Chamber and BDO’s latest Quarterly Economic Survey, which revealed that 35% of businesses have applied for finance in the last 12 months with 22% of applications declined, today’s event offered businesses the opportunity to meet and talk to BDO experts on the alternative ways to access sources of finance. These included:
- Shane Hall, Corporate Finance Director, BDO
- Gary Shannon, Corporate Finance Director, BDO
- Barry-John Kelly, Corporate Finance Director, BDO
- Darrel Connell, Senior Investment Manager, Foresight Group
- Alex Ward, Wealth Management Partner, BDO
- Sean Lavery, Tax Partner, BDO
- Niall Brady, Tax and Wealth Management Manager, BDO
- Kate Hamilton, Corporate Tax Manager, BDO
