EVENT OVERVIEW:
As we step into 2026, Newry Chamber President, Conor Patterson and CEO, Michael Savage are hosting our annual Members’ Networking Breakfast and we hope to see as many of you, our valued members there on the day.
This now annual event kicks off our activities for the year ahead and is regularly attended by 100+ local business representatives from our 300+ member organisations.
This is a fantastic opportunity to network with fellow Chamber members and hear from our new President, Conor Patterson, CEO, Michael Savage and Board of Directors on our successes to date, our plans for the coming year and our packed programme of events for 2026.
As the largest and leading voice for businesses in the Greater Newry Area, we will continue to deliver on our strategy of promoting the area as a premier destination to live, work, study, shop, visit and invest.
We will also provide an update on our lobbying work to date and our priorities for the year ahead, centred around our three core strategic pillars:
- Continuing to develop Newry Chamber into one of the largest business organisations in NI with an active and engaged membership base
- Leading the lobby to address the infrastructure deficit to unlock the Greater Newry Area’s development and investment potential
- Bringing businesses, education and training providers together to develop a localised strategy to tackle the region’s skills and recruitment challenges
You will also have the chance to provide your input across a wide range of areas and the key issues that matter most to your business or organisation.
