Let us know what’s on your mind

In the second episode of our Sport for Business Leadership series we speak to Dubai Duty Free CEO Colm McLoughlin.

He has been part of the Duty Free scene for more than 50 years but his entry to it took some interesting twists along the way.

He talks openly about the power of sporting sponsorship, about what works, how they became a major sponsor in tennis, golf and horseracing, and why they exited the Irish Open golf.

We find out about his love for a particular sporting tournament, a chance meeting with a famous GAA figure, and how we would need to book the entire restaurant for dinner with his sporting heroes...
