Brightwater was delighted to attend the Cork Chamber Business Breakfast in the Carrigaline Cork Hotel.

Consultants from our Engineering, Pharmaceutical and Supply Chain divisions were on hand to hear the Guest Speaker, Seamus Fives, Site Leader at Pfizer.

Seamus became the Pfizer Site leader for both the Ringaskiddy & Little Island sites in January 2011, after a career which included roles as Finance Director for Ireland/Singapore, Operations Lead roles for the Cork Sites and Network Strategy Team Leader. Seamus worked his entire professional career in manufacturing and is currently Chair of BioPharmachemical Ireland.Seamus was Site Leader in 2015, when Pfizer reversed a plan to close the plant in Little Island, saving 160 jobs. He has been involved with the Site since 1999 and Site Leader since 2008 so this was a particularly positive announcement for Seamus.

This was a unique opportunity to hear from one of the largest pharmaceuticals firms in the world.
