The new Chairman of the Drinks Industry Group of Ireland wears another hat -- as Corporate Relations Director for Diageo Western Europe, a division headed up by former Diageo Ireland MD John Kennedy. Pat Nolan spoke to him about leading the DIGI in today’s climate.	Having been an active observer of the off-trade through her company’s work with suppliers and symbol groups down through the years, FMI’s Managing Director Charley Stoney makes the interesting observation that many in the on-trade (and quite a few in the off-trade) don’t realise the complexity of this particular drinks sales channel. She explains the lie of the off-trade land from her unique perspective to Pat Nolan.	Publicans, hoteliers and off-licensees figure among the memberhip of the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association. Pat Nolan talked to its Chief Executive Mark Fielding about the challenges for ISME and its members in today’s hard-pressed economy.
