Shane McArdle RIP

It is with deepest regret we have to report that Shane McArdle, our esteemed colleague, passed away suddenly on the 3rd October 2016.

Shane was held in the highest professional and personal regard by all his colleagues in Invest NI and by the wider Northern Ireland food and drink industry as well as by clients and food buyers in many parts of the world.

Shane was passionate about the industry and worked tirelessly to ensure the success of local companies especially in terms of sales and marketing. He was a talented marketer with great integrity and attention to detail. In addition, Shane's vision, energy and dedication to the industry drove the creation of the new BuyNIFood website in which this notice appears.

Shane will be sadly missed by all who knew and were privileged to work with him. He was a great team player who led by example.

Rest In Peace dear friend.
