CONTENTS Letter from the editor
One recurring theme in this issue of Owner Manager is the need to embrace opportunities. Boylesports founder John Boyle epitomises this notion, having seemingly always known the right time to snap up new out- lets for his bookmaking business. Incoming SFA chairman Ian Martin is also keen to get
this message across, encouraging business owners to be optimistic in a five-year timeframe. And Ed O’Reilly, our featured entrepreneur this month, knew he was on to a good thing when he founded Trustwater. Etain Doyle shares her insights from setting up Ire-
land’s first telecoms regulator, while branding lecturer John Fanning outlines the latest thinking on good brand management. We look at the relationships – those between the institutes of technology and small businesses, as well as between banks and business owners – and explore trends in clean and green business.
