The Financial Director of the Treasury, Paul Boateng, has addressed a Business Breakfast of leading business people at First Trust’s Belfast Headquarters.
The Minister, who was welcomed by Dennis Licence, Managing Director of First Trust Bank, addressed the early morning diners on the theme of building a productive society through investing in economic and social capital.
In welcoming the Financial Secretary to First Trust Bank, Mr Licence said that they were delighted that Mr Boateng was able to attend and that First Trust Bank took its role as a responsible corporate citizen very seriously.
He added: “We view our corporate community involvement as an integral part of our overall operation and it has been an important part of our ethos for many years, not just at a corporate level, but at a branch level too.”
