Taking place at Affidea Stadium, the home of Ulster Rugby, the students will get to hear from leaders and experts in the world of business, sport, and leadership with keynote sessions and Q&As from Dr Darren Devaney of Ulster Rugby, Olivia McVeigh and Sam Shephard of Juice Jar.

We will also find out the winning team from their case study challenge...but first... breakfast.

We were pleased to welcome Emma Patterson-Bennett, Diversity & Inclusion Lead and Diversity Mark Facilitator, to facilitate an important and highly valuable session focused on the topic of ending violence against women and girls.

We are grateful to Emma for sharing her time, insight and expertise on a subject that matters to every single one of us.

As BDO NI Audit Partner Laura Jackson explains: “Since 2020, 30 women have been killed in Northern Ireland, the majority in their own homes. This simply must stop. From a workplace perspective, everyone has the right to feel safe and included in their place of work. As an employer, BDO have maintained a fully remote working policy, access to an Employee Assistance Scheme as well as our robust Domestic Abuse Policy.

"Emma helped us facilitate the launch of the Diversity Mark toolkit for all employers to End Violence Against Women and Girls. We would be happy to share our work in this area with any employer who wishes to join this critical effort."

BDO Northern Ireland will be offering self-defence training workshops with an experienced personal safety instructor to our team over the summer months.

Thank you to our partners for helping deliver this important training and to our team, for their participation in such a vital conversation.

CAPTION (l-r): Emma Patterson-Bennett; Ciara Hughes, HR Manager, BDO NI; Nancy McMullan Head of Engagement, Diversity Mark; and Laura Jackson, Audit Partner, BDO NI.

With June 25th fast approaching, Northern Ireland's hospitality and leisure sectors are counting down to the temporary 5% summer VAT rate. 🌞 But as BDO NI Vat Director Rebekah Townsend points out, this isn't just an administrative flick of a switch...Are your systems ready for the June 25th transition?

📢 Event Postponement Notice

It is with regret that we need to announce the postponement of tomorrow's Day 3 of the Business Insight Progamme with Queen's Business School due to circumstances beyond our control.

While this decision was not made lightly, we believe it is the right one given the current situation. We are working to confirm a new date and will share further details as soon as possible...students please watch your emails!

We are disappointed that Days 1 and 2 were not quite the full experience as we would have intended. We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has contributed to making this event possible:

💙 To the students who committed their time and enthusiasm to participate, thank you for your energy, engagement, and patience.
💙 To our speakers, especially Sam Shephard Juice Jar and Alastair Simpson, thank you for generously sharing your expertise, insights, and valuable time in support of this event.
💙 To our incredible team, thank you for the countless hours of planning, preparation, and hard work behind the scenes.
💙 To the schools, teachers, and parents who have shown flexibility, understanding, and support throughout, thank you.

We remain committed to delivering Day 3 of the BIP 2026 and a chance to showcase the videos and everyone's hard work.

Until then...
