Business boost

Over 300 business delegates attended a Cross Border Business Support Expo hosted by Newry and Dundalk Chambers of Commerce and supported by InterTradeIreland recently in the Carrickdale Hotel. Ms Colleen Dowdall Acting Chief Executive of Newry Chamber said, “As joint organisers of this event, Newry Chamber was delighted with its success for a second year in a row in terms of networking opportunities created and the opening of communication channels between local businesses and support agencies. There is a ion of business support programmes currently offered to small businesses however there is some confusion in the business community about where to look for support and exactly what businesses can avail of. In this challenging economic climate local businesses need to take advantage of all appropriate support opportunities open to them. This event provided a unique forum for business owners and managers to speak directly to all the local Business Support Providers on a one-to-one basis, on one day, under one roof.
