Noel Furlong was born at Dublin in 1937. His recorded nationality is Ireland.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as poker player and entrepreneur.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
That the business was built from Ireland shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Noel Furlong died in 2021, aged 84. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
