COUNTY CARLOW Chamber of Commerce recently launched its calendar of events for 2025 in The Old Post Office Café, Bagenalstown.
“As a chamber, our role is to be the voice of the vibrant business community in Carlow. We provide a range of events and services that support the growth and development of our member companies and, indeed, of the county,” said chamber president Michael Quinn.
“We were delighted with the level of member engagement in 2024 and are striving to ensure that we continue this upward trajectory for 2025.” 2024 was a busy and productive year for the chamber, with progress across a variety of areas, including delivering a wide selection of supports such as training, business advice, export documentation, advocacy and member promotion, increasing both member numbers and member engagement levels. It hosted over 1,100 people at 20-plus events and attracted over 400 entries into the Carlow Business Awards, with 116 finalists and 26 winners. Carlow chamber also won the ‘Event of the Year’ at the Chambers Ireland Awards.
Building on this momentum, the chamber launched its 2025 calendar of activity at the inaugural ‘Chamber Chats’ event in The Old Post Office Café, Bagenalstown.
“Listening to and understanding member needs is at the heart of what we do. With this in mind, we have developed a suite of activities, supports and services that reflect these needs and that provide options and opportunities for our wide variety of chamber members,” said Nicola Doran, CEO of County Carlow Chamber.
“We launched a calendar of activities for the coming 12 months that includes flagship events such as the Carlow Business Awards, the chamber barbecue, the Chamber Golf Classic and the President’s Lunch as well as a series of four types of regular training and networking events.” The full calendar of events can be found online at www.carlowchamber.com.
This website will be updated as event bookings open and as more events are refined and launched.
Chamber Chats is a member-hosted initiative that provides an informal opportunity to meet other members. The first of the new Chamber Chats focused on ‘Maximising Your Membership’ so that existing, new and potential members could see the diversity and variety of options on offer and could select the supports and events that best suit their business.
