On 15 October 2003 100 staff of FDA member companies in Ireland turned out to listen to none other than their home-grown hero - Jack Charlton OBE - at the first ever FDA Staff Forum to be held in Ireland. The evening was a huge success, with double the projected numbers expected, and an evening that all who attended will remember for a long time.
The evening, generously sponsored by Matheson Ormsby Prentice (still celebrating winning 'European Law Firm of the Year 2002'), began with our chairman and the MD of Bank of Ireland Finance, Ann Horan, outlining the evening's programme. She then introduced the first speaker - Jeff Grout from JG Consulting.
