This much I know: Peter Kelly AKA ‘Franc’

I’m a problem solver and I love information.

As a child I was outwardly friendly but also rather shy. My dad was Irish and my mother was from Scotland. He always wanted to return to Cork and we moved around a lot so I was always the new kid and had to ‘fit in’. I learnt to be a networker and a friend and an entertainer. My mum was a nurse and, later, a chef, and my dad worked in a fibre glass factory and then in the county council.

I thought I’d do engineering after school, but then decided to become a chef. I met my wife when we were both in college and we started working together, planning events.
