Enda Winters had always wanted to travel to China. He studied mathematics in Trinity, but the lure of Asia was very strong. At the time, there was a visa programme assisting Irish people get work in China which enabled him to get a position in an insurance company in Beijing.
“I was parachuted into the IT department after an induction programme in DCU — I was already learning Chinese and had spent two summers in Taiwan, so I jumped at the chance,” says Winters.
