Commenting on the reveal of the shortlist, Ian Talbot, Chambers Ireland Chief Executive said:

“Chambers across the country are active participants in the development of our regions, our towns, our communities – the places we call our own. The Chamber Awards is a celebration of how Chambers place business at the heart of their communities.

“Through their work in supporting local economic development, Chambers take the lead in launching innovative campaigns, projects and policy proposals. Our goal in hosting this national awards ceremony is to promote this creativity and hard work.

“Local Chambers collectively promote Ireland’s business competitiveness through a variety of creative projects and activities, particularly through the brilliant events they run which highlight what their local areas have to offer and attract local people and international visitors alike.

“We look forward to the awards ceremony in June and I would like to wish all of the shortlisted Chamber applicants the very best of luck.”

The Chamber Awards winners will be announced at the official awards ceremony on June 5 at the Killashee Hotel, Naas, Co. Kildare. Awards will be presented for excellence in eight different categories and one Chamber will be awarded the overall award of Chamber of the Year.
