Date: Tue 20th Mar, 2018 | 14:32

"May I convey my congratulations to Martin Naughton, founder of Glen Dimplex, on being awarded the Business for Peace Award in recognition of his contribution to peace building through business initiatives. 

Martin Naughton’s role supporting business development across the island of Ireland, and his efforts to encourage the private sector to focus on its potential impact on peace building and environmental sustainability, are deserving of this global recognition. 

May I, along with Sabina, send my heartfelt congratulations to him, and to Ms. Lori Blaker and Mr. Edgar Montenegro, whose work has also been recognised today.”
