New Director Announced For CBI NI
The Confederation of British Industry has announced the appointment of a new Northern Ireland Director.
Angela McGowan will succeed retiring Director, Nigel Smyth, after 26 years of service.
Ms McGowan will head up the CBI's Northern Ireland office and represent the UK's largest business organisation's Northern Ireland members with government, policy makers and other key stakeholders including the social partners and other business bodies - such as Ibec where we have a strategic relationship through the Joint Business Council.
Angela joins the CBI from Danske Bank UK where she has been the Chief Economist since 2008. She provides analysis, commentary and insights into Northern Ireland, UK and global economic trends, and provides a range of reports and media commentary on issues impacting on the local economy.
Angela previously worked as the senior economist at the Economic Research Institute NI (2004-7) and the Northern Ireland Economic Council (2001-04), and has a strong background in public policy research and analysis.
She will be joining the CBI on 1 October.
Carolyn Fairbairn, CBI Director-General, said: "I'm delighted to welcome Angela to the role of Northern Ireland Director. Her business experience, and wealth of economic knowledge, will help the CBI create the best possible conditions for its members in Northern Ireland.
"Following the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union, Angela joins us at an important moment for Northern Ireland's economy, when businesses will be looking for political stability and certainty. I look forward to working closely with her to achieve this."
