At AC Insights we give advice, guidance, training and mentoring through tailored programmes for both individuals and teams designed to help businesses develop their business profitably.

I have set up a manufacturing company, achieved BRC Level 7, Grade A in our first year of operation and Level 8 Grade AA at the end of our second year, achieved High Potential Start-up in our first year of operation, created three brands which have been sold in Ireland, the UK and Europe to foodservice, retail, online and export.
