Commenting on the event, Patrick Anderson, Chief Financial Officer at Translink, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming NI Chamber members to our new state of the art Glider Service Centre at Milewater, Belfast. With a fleet of over 1,400 vehicles and a significant physical footprint, energy management and environmentally sustainable travel solutions are fundamentally important to Translink.”

Speakers will cover a number of areas including Brexit and the all-island energy market.
