I’ve been giving a lot of thought this month to the year ahead. January started by getting back to work on my book and finishing off a couple of reports that didn’t get cleared before the end of last year. It’s been an admin month too, tidying up, checking the accounts, making sure everything is in order. Going through everything, it looks like we had 18 different clients over the course of the year, most of whom were repeat customers (always good!) and quite a few new ones too (even better!!).

Work included facilitation, mentoring & coaching startups, research project management, funding assessments, training, guest speaking, technical spokesperson and blogger, R&D Commercialisation, sector-specific feasibility studies, regional food & drink strategies, and technical reports for and assessment of the “Science Test” required by Revenue and HMRC for R&D Tax Credits.

I’m lucky to work with clients in both NI and RoI as well as across Europe. Plenty of variety which I love, albeit all within the food, drink and circular economy fields.

So here is a big THANK YOU to all my clients (selection below), associates and collaborators over the past 12 months, and we’re looking forward to whatever 2024 brings.

Maybe we’ll try out something different along the way, who knows…?
