John Concannon is an Irish businessman, philanthropist, and star of RTÉ's The Secret Millionaire.[1]
A native of Kilconly, Tuam, Concannon is the founder of the JFC Group.[2] He left St. Jarlath's school, Tuam, to work on the family farm. In 1987, he invented the Triple Bucket, a product for feeding calves,[3] which was publicised by Gay Byrne on RTÉ's The Late Late Show that December. The Triple Bucket helped him establish the JFC Group, which over the next thirty-five years helped him become a multi-millionaire, owning factories and sales distribution offices across Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and South Africa.[4]
In 2011, he participated in RTÉ's The Secret Millionaire, during which he spent a week in west Dublin subsisting on minimum wage and attempting to determine which charity or organisation in the area most deserved financial support.[5]
Since then, he has supported Pieta House, which gives aid to people who suffer suicidal tendencies, as well as other charitable organisations.[6]
He should not be confused with John Concannon, Director of Market Development at Fáilte Ireland and chairman of Gaisce – The President's Award
