Our CEO, Michael Savage paid a visit to the Newry HQ of our Corporate Patron, S&W Wholesale, one of Ireland’s largest independent wholesalers this week.
Michael was given a tour of their premises located at Carnbane Business Park by Deputy CEO & CFO, Anthony McVeigh and Head of Operations, Clive Whylie and was hugely impressed.
Michael Savage, CEO of Newry Chamber commented:
“S&W Wholesale is a magnificent business which has been operating for more than 100 years, employing over 300 people with 250 of them based in the Greater Newry Area.”
“The also became one of the largest known businesses in NI to move to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model of ownership in January 2023 which puts the succession, progression and development needs of their employees at the centre of its operation.”
“The company continues to grow market share and has impressive expansion plans in place for a new state-of-the-art distribution centre in Newry which will provide the facilities to support further development of the business over the next 10 to 15 years.”
S&W Wholesale is a fantastic local success story and we are honoured to have the business as a member and Corporate Patron of Newry Chamber. I wish Anthony, Clive and all the team every success in 2024.”
