We were delighted to welcome Tommy Kelly, the founder and CEO of eShopworld (ESW), as our special guest speaker at the MMPI sponsored Lansdowne FC Business Lunch to a packed clubhouse on Friday 25th of March 2022

Our MC for the day was the ever charming Mano Ryan who opened proceedings and introduced club President, Colin Goode. After the starter, Mano introduced our speaker Tommy Kelly. Tommy was an exceptional addition to the day, sharing his professional story and insights into growing ESW into a global business and becoming the trusted ecommerce partner with leading brands such as Nike.

After dessert, we were delighted to have Devin Toner in conversation with Mano. In the week following the announcement of his retirement, Devin regaled the audience with tales from his lengthy and successful career.

A raffle during lunch raised close to €9k for the GOAL – Ukraine Emergency Appeal & The Ringsend and District Response to Drugs Addiction Treatment Centre.

Many thanks to all who attended and for their generous contribution to the raffle – we look forward to seeing you all next year! Special thanks to the organising committee Ciaran O’Reilly, Gavin Lee ,Michael Ryan, Mano Ryan, Will Sparks and Elayne Power.
