Building 'long-term resilience' for Longford businesses with Circular Advantage
This event takes place during Enterprise Week to focus on what business owners care about most
Rising input costs. Supply chain uncertainty. Tightening environmental regulation. Increasing sustainability criteria in tenders.
For many Longford SMEs, these pressures feel like added burdens. But what if the same pressures could become a competitive edge?
Circular Advantage is a practical, results-focused event designed to show Longford SMEs how circular economy practices can directly improve profitability, reduce risk and unlock new growth opportunities.
Taking place during Enterprise Week and hosted by award-winning broadcaster Ella McSweeney, the Circular Advantage event will take place on Tuesday, March 3 from 10am-12.30pm in Longford Golf Club.
This event moves beyond theory to focus on what business owners care about most: cost control, contract wins and long-term resilience.
Valentina Tarasco, Assessment & Metrics Lead with the Circular Economy Team at Irish Manufacturing Research, will break down the current policy landscape and explain how circular practices deliver measurable financial and environmental returns.
John O’Shanahan of LeanBPI will demonstrate how Longford LEO’s Lean for Business and Digital for Business programmes can act as immediate, low-risk entry points to improving cost efficiency and embedding circular thinking.
Tim Murphy of Circular Economy Company will share a real-world case study showing how reducing waste to landfill translated into tangible cost savings for a local business.
The event concludes with a panel discussion hosted by Ella McSweeney, focused on practical implementation and the funding supports available to help SMEs take the next step.
Places are limited. SMEs interested in reducing costs, strengthening competitiveness and future-proofing growth are encouraged to register early.
