Bradley International Airport host evening at the Irish Whiskey Museum
Ahead of our annual USA Summer Soirée we assisted Bradley International Airport, one of our sponsors, with hosting an exclusive trade evening in the Irish Whiskey Museum, Dublin. A great night was had by all, with a private tour of the museum, a very educational whiskey tasting and even a presentation by our own Michael Collins of his great grand-uncle – the original Michael Collins’ –pistol, on loan for the evening!
United 20th Anniversary Celebrations
We were privileged to attend the 20th anniversary celebrations of United Airlines flying out of Ireland last month.
Michael, Michelle and Leslie all headed along to the BBQ in Trinity Hotel for a fantastic fun-filled evening. Thank you to Martina, Brian, Aoife and all the United team for having us!
Michael attended his first Visit USA Committee Ireland meeting
We recently started working with Bradley International Airport, representing them in the Irish market. As they are a member of the Visit USA Committee Ireland Michael went along to their latest meeting on their behalf. We are delighted to be working with the committee, having gotten to know them so well over the years thanks to their involvement in the USA Summer Soirée each July. We look forward to continuing to promote Bradley International to the Irish trade with their help.
