🔹 The West Coast Business Show
The West Coast Business Show is a new web series that takes a deep dive into the business, technology, and leadership of the west coast of British Columbia. Hosted by Jerrod Downey from Crownsmen Partners and William Donnellan, President of IRL Group and owner of Irish pubs across Vancouver, the show features interviews with industry leaders, technology leaders, and experts in business and community.

🔹IRL Group
IRL Construction Ltd. was the first company they founded within only a few short years of moving to Canada. William had owned his own construction company in his early 20's back in Ireland and utilized his trade as a carpenter to build the enterprise from the ground up. Likewise, the pubs that were soon to follow, were also built by William and his hard-working IRL team.
