Lanesboro native Karen Connaughton has thrown herself back into Longford life since returning home from a five year stint in London before Christmas. And, with a new role with Bord Bia to her name, she’s looking forward to spending more time getting to know her native county.
“Since coming back, I can really see such improvements, especially around hospitality, with Center Parcs in Ballymahon. It’s great to see that development,” she told the Longford Leader.
“And the walkways - I’ve gone to a few different ones. I walk along the Shannon in Lanesboro and the canal and the new bog walk in Lanesboro. It’s incredible to see those services and see how local people are using them.
Bord Bia has announced the appointment of Karen Connaughton as its new industry talent manager.
The job will see the appointee take responsibility for the Bord Bia Talent Academy, which, according to the Irish food board, helps to identify and develop future executive talent for Ireland’s food and drink industry.

In her new role, Karen is returning to Ireland from the UK, where she spent the past five years with Bord Bia, most recently as its market specialist for the dairy, seafood and alcohol sectors.
Karen joined Bord Bia through its Marketing Fellowship programme, gaining a Masters in International Marketing Practices at UCD Smurfit Graduate Business School.
