Walkers Ireland is delighted to have been shortlisted in the
Allianz 2019 Business to Arts Awards under the Best Staff
Creative Engagement category for "Walkers
Photographer-in-Residence" programme together with visual
artist, Kate Nolan.

business networking event in the Irish calendar and the ceremony
will take place on Tuesday, 3 September at the Bord Gáis

Walkers has been specifically recognised for innovative and
mutually beneficial work with Kate Nolan, our people and CBS
Westland Row through the "Walkers

workplace and engaged our people in collaborative photography
workshops with students and teachers from CBS Westland Row.
Commenting on the programme, Garry Ferguson says, "As a
long term resident in the Docklands area, we are pleased to have
introduced photography as an art form into the daily routine of
those living, working and attending school in this
locality." Also remarking on the shortlisting, Kate Nolan

great honour to be recognised for the collaboration we achieved
