Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber's After-Hours events have become an integral part of the business calendar in Dungarvan. An After-Hours with a twist took place last Thursday 19th April at Dungarvan Enterprise Centre. The Centre hosted the event, which was a joint evening among Chamber and Waterford WEN members. Three exhibitors from each network organisation showed their wares, in addition to the usual networking and nibbles associated with After Hours.
The event was a great success, with 50 local business representatives attending. Waterford WEN is the organisation for women in business in West Waterford, supported by Waterford County Enterprise Board. Three WEN members; Workhouse Studios, Birthday Gifts and Hearts & Crafts; were kept busy meeting visitors and selling their unique craft products. Dungarvan Chamber members who exhibited were IamofIreland, Flowers, etc and Garret Dillon Kitchens & Furniture. Each exhibitor displayed a wide array of their products and Robin of Flowers etc did a very engaging flower-arranging demonstration.
Speaking at the event, Colette Bannon of The Work Coach, incoming Chamber President said "We're delighted to welcome Dungarvan Enterprise Centre on board as a Chamber member and would like to congratulate Mags Durand O'Connor on her appointment as Centre manager." The event was a great opportunity for local businesses to meet other members of the business community and to show their products."
"Our whole aim is to support local enterprise," said Durand O'Connor, "We offer affordable high-spec office space to start-up and expanding businesses. Through our anchor tenant Waterford County Enterprise Board we also offer business support. We're delighted to welcome such a dynamic mix of businesses to the centre and we hope to continue to act as a hub for enterprising activity."
