B2B Networking Event | SFA Awards

Business is facing challenging times right now. Energy and fuel costs are rising and margins are being squeezed more and more. SFA is focussed on helping members in this regard, by not only highlighting the costs of doing business for small companies in Ireland but providing practical advice and tips in navigating these challenging times

Our B2B event will bring together our members to learn from each other and hear from those who have expertise in how to save costs and manage the bottom line.

Join us to hear from Tony Dignam of the Agile Executive who will provide practical insights for companies on managing their business in inflationary times. Tony will highlight where cost savings can be made and also where strategic investment can help to improve productivity and help to manage the bottom line.                                                

This will be a great opportunity for networking and as the SFA National Small Business Awards 2023 are underway you will also hear how SFA award winning businesses have grown their business on the back of the awards, their challenges and how they are doing right now.

We will be joined by our awards sponsors and partners. NSAI, Permanent TSB, Enterprise Ireland, One4All Rewards, Bord Bia, .IE, DeCare, Cisco, Sage, SBCI and management training partner Skillnet Ireland.
