For this April seminar “We present a diverse group of business people all united under the theme of Sport and Fitness” says Liam Barry of DCC. “This is the third in the series of StartUp Ballymun seminars. These entrepreneurs will tell the audience how they realised their ambitions they and started and grew their companies.”
