FRIENDS and family were out in force this week to mark the 80th birthday of Irish community leader Andy Rogers.
The Sligo native, who lives in Hertfordshire, celebrated his milestone with a glitzy party held at The Devonshire in Soho.
Among the guests who attended the event were Irish Ambassador to Britain Martin Fraser and his wife Deirdre.
Mr Rogers wife Brigid and daughters Lorna, Sarah and Sheena were also there to help mark the occasion.
Well-known and respected among the Irish community across Britain, Mr Rogers is a founder board member of the Irish International Business Network.
He also set up the successful Sligo Business Network in 2000.
Following a lengthy career in banking, in which he headed up Bank of Ireland’s operations in the UK, he went on to devote his time to supporting Irish people in business in Britain.
