The Opportunity
Paddy Savage, Operations Manager for Trade Programmes said: 'The whole purpose of the Acumen Sales and Marketing Programme is to help businesses North and South to sell across the border. Significant levels of cross-border sales and resulting growth can be achieved if companies can find and recruit a skilled and dedicated cross-border sales resource. This is what Acumen does and the results bear this out. We are now looking for eligible companies to get in touch for funding now available in 2016, particularly companies based in the Munster and Connacht regions”.
