🇮🇪 Say hello to a few more of our amazing J-1 students!

It’s been awesome having these students from Ireland spend the summer with us at The Briar Group. While they’re exploring Boston and checking destinations like Fenway Park, Harvard, Nashville, and beyond off their bucket lists, they’ve become such an important part of our team. ☘️✨

What a day at our 32nd Annual Briar Group Irish Open! ☘️⛳️ One of our favorite days of the year.

We couldn’t have asked for better weather, better vibes, or a better group of people to spend the day with-all while raising money for a great cause.

This annual golf tournament wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of our loyal friends, sponsors, vendors, and volunteers who show up year after year to give back. Thank you for making this event so special.

We’re proud to have raised over $105,000 in support of the Boston Police Athletic League (PAL) and other local charities. PAL’s mission to build positive relationships between law enforcement and the community while guiding youth toward a successful future is one we’re honored to support. ✨

To everyone who golfed, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and supported this year’s tournament-thank you for helping make it all possible. 💚

Here’s to 32 years of golf, giving, and community. Already counting down to next year! 🍻

Meet Oisín!🇮🇪

This summer, we’re welcoming J-1 students from Ireland to The Briar Group, and we’re excited to introduce you to some of the amazing people joining our team.

First up is Oisín from the coastal town of Greystones in County Wicklow. He’ll be joining the team as a food runner at Ned Devine’s. When he’s not working, you’ll likely find him cheering on Arsenal FC. His goal for the summer? Catching a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. ⚾️

If you see Oisín this summer, be sure to say hello! Stay tuned as we introduce more of our Irish J-1 students throughout the season!

A great time was had at our All Managers Meeting! We kicked off the day with an awesome lunch at MJ O'Connor's Seaport before diving into an afternoon of updates and discussion. We heard valuable insights from each department- marketing, HR, accounting, and operations- and wrapped up the day at Cisco Brewers in the Seaport. We enjoyed great food, drinks, sunshine, and great vibes!

We’re incredibly lucky to have such a passionate, hardworking, and talented management team-truly the best in the business. We’re excited for what’s to come and looking forward to a busy summer ahead! 🥂
