Listen "Interview with Kieran Kennedy, Chairman of 21 Training: "You can't go nowhere without a plan""
Episode Synopsis
This week our guest is an absolute business legend Kieran Kennedy, Chairman of 21 Training, Board Member of Invest NI, and many many other roles. This one is honestly not to be missed for any aspiring entrepreneurs.
What is clear is that even after four decades in business his drive and ambition to improve native Strabane and the North West more broadly is still as present, as ever.
Kieran talks about his early years of growing up in Sion Mills, and then starting with O’Neills sportswear at 16, when only 30 people worked there, and going on to become Managing Director and growing it to the over 700 strong fork-force and sportswear powerhouse that it is today.
He also told us how he finds opportunities in difficult times and how to deal with the ups and downs in business. His emphasis on education for all is a key driver for our economy and economic prosperity, and is at the core of 21 Training.
