AIB is to sponsor a new show on RTÉ Radio 1 aimed at helping businesses and individuals restart their professional activities in the wake of the Covid emergency.

ReIgnite starts Saturday 1 August and will run for five weeks. It’s presented by Aine Kerr and RTÉ says it will “empower people to reassess, reboot and retrain when it comes to changing careers, restarting a business or beginning something they’ve long deferred but feel compelled to act upon now”.

AIB will also be sponsoring The Business when it returns on September 5, helmed by Richard Curran (pictured).
