Lurgan raises glass to £2m distillery and brewery plan

[belfasttelegraph]( 31 August 2021 [Margaret Canning] [Margaret Canning]( Welcome to Business Telegraph. It's unfairly associated with so-called Lurgan Champagne - but now the Co Armagh town has a new drinks-related claim to fame as investors including ex-Novosco's Patrick McAliskey [announce a new £2m brewery and distillery](. Co-Fund NI gives us an update on [the funding it's given to early-stage companies]( here over the last year, adding that more could be raised if outside investors were aware of just how many great businesses we have. And the debate over APD continues following news of Ryanair's departure from NI, with Sinn Fein's Caoimhe Archibald saying [it should be abolished at a UK-level]( and not a regional level. In our interview, we speak to [Graham Harding of Prescient Data Centres in Coleraine]( about its prospects for growth and its change of name. And a return to the office at least part of the week is looming for many of us, if it hasn't begun already. John Simpson considers [some of the legal ramifications]( of the move away from full-time home working. And Conor Lambe of Danske Bank also considers [the many sectors which are seeing cost inflation]( at the moment, while Maria O'Loan of Tughans considers [the importance of waste infrastructure](.
