The Farsons Group recently organised a business breakfast focusing on the subject of challenges and opportunities in international development, for its directors and management team.

Presented by Joanne Denney-Finch, chief executive of IGD, a research and training charity based in the UK that provides leadership to the food and consumer goods industry, the discussion was centred on the global drivers of change, the impact on consumers and retailers, and the recipes for success.

This is the third such event organised by the group and gives its participants the opportunity to step outside of their work schedules and consider the implications of the international market place on their everyday work, with the help of respected and esteemed speakers.

The event was opened by Louis A. Farrugia, chairman of the Farsons Group who commented on the importance of focusing on and working towards a future aimed at further growth and expansion, achieved through strategies of innovation and exports.
