Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NI Chamber) and Bank of Ireland UK invite finance professionals from across the province to start their day with a business breakfast on Friday, September 29.

The morning event will focus on the strategic role of finance teams in building resilient businesses as well as the specific challenges, global trends and emerging opportunities impacting their role.
