The All-Ireland Business Foundation’s Hall of Fame Accreditation serves as a way to recognise distinguished members of the Irish Business community.

Those elected to membership into the Hall of Fame represent the highest achievement in their field, serving as models of what can be achieved and how. Induction as a Laureate into the All-Ireland Business Foundation Hall of Fame is a lifetime achievement for individuals who have made a major, positive impact on Irish business as visionary business leaders with a strong commitment to the community.

The Laureates will serve as inspirations to current and future generations. Speaking on the selection of Sean McCool for the Hall of Fame Accreditation, Kieran Ring, deputy chair on the Adjudication Board said: “The Accreditation Board of the All-Ireland Business Foundation is delighted to announce that it is to induct Mr Sean McCool, founder of international airline marketing Limited (IAM), to its Hall of Fame.

“The Accolade is in recognition of Sean’s outstanding contribution to Irish Industry and Commerce over the seven decades of his career. In our opinion, the pioneering work undertaken by Sean in the development of the air-cargo sector has made an enormous contribution to the flow of cargo on and off the island, an infrastructure which has established Ireland as a major global export hub.”
