It was another busy Hot Desk! I kicked off the show with the news that two local companies recently collaborated for a major re-branding project.

Local accountancy firm Fitzgerald Power recently partnered with Dungarvan brand experts TOTEM. It was to launch a new brand identity. The new brand is part of an overall growth strategy to showcase the myriad services offered by the company.

I spoke to Stuart Fitzgerald, Managing Partner of Fitzgerald Power, and Colin Byrne, Creative Director with Totem. They joined me in studio..

Spotlight on Arclabs, making ideas happen...

This is an exciting new series in association with Enterprise Ireland. Arclabs is WIT's Research and Innovation Centre and business incubator, supporting entrepreneurship in the South East from its sites in Waterford and Kilkenny.

Throughout September I'll talk to various people who are based at, or connected to, Arclabs. To kick the series off, I spoke to Arclabs Manager Aisling O'Neill and Technology Gateway Manager with the Walton Institute.
