ByrneWallace supports Annual IVCA Dinner – celebrating the venture capital community in Ireland

ByrneWallace is pleased to sponsor the 32nd Annual Irish Venture Capital Association Dinner (IVCA) which took place on Thursday, 12 October in The Ballsbridge Hotel. 

With a record number of 420 guests attending this year, this event is one of the highlights of the Irish venture capitalist’s calendar. Now in its 32nd year, this annual event brings together Ireland’s leading players in the equity funding market - venture capital firms, corporate finance houses, legal, accountancy and advisory firms - to celebrate the significant contribution they make supporting Irish business. 

Speakers on the night included Peter Sandys, IVCA Chairman; Feargal Brennan, Head of Corporate ByrneWallace, and guest speaker, CEO of Hospital & Kitchen (H&K) International David Bobbett. 

David shared insights on the highs and lows of his successful Irish business which now employs 1,200 worldwide and provides restaurant equipment solutions into 20,000 restaurants across 80 countries. The company’s clients include McDonald's, Subway, IKEA, Jason's, Applebee's and IHOP to name a few. 

Commenting on the event, Feargal Brennan said, “ByrneWallace is delighted to support this year’s annual IVCA Dinner. We have a long history working with the venture capital and investment advisory community in Ireland and over the years have been fortunate to advise on some of the largest investments in Ireland by fast growing indigenous companies.

“This event is an opportunity to bring together this community and recognise and celebrate the hard work accomplished each year in providing investment support and in helping to drive the growth of Irish business.”
