Ennis Chamber a winner at national Chamber Awards
The national Chamber Awards 2024, which took place last week, saw Ennis Chamber win the inaugural ‘Community Support Initiatives’ category in recognition of its work with local schools on Climate Action and Offshore Energy initiatives.
Ennis Chamber CEO, Margaret O’Brien, said, “It’s great to get positive feedback and acknowledgement from objective adjudicators. We were delighted to fight off stiff competition in our category to win this award.”
She added, “It was a team effort and I’d like to acknowledge the work, not just on this initiative, but across the year from Ennis Chamber team; Margaret Whitworth, Maria Boland, Caroline Kalonga and Tetiana Burchenko”.
Ennis Chamber was represented at this year’s Chamber Awards by board members Eimear Brophy and Pat Morris, who accepted the award for ‘Community Support Initiatives’ on behalf of Ennis Chamber.
Ballina Chamber was named ‘Chamber of the Year’. Category winners were: Cork Chamber, Galway Chamber, Dublin Chamber, Ennis Chamber, Carlow Chamber, Tralee Chamber and Letterkenny Chamber.
The annual awards, hosted by Chambers Ireland were sponsored by Zurich. The awards are designed to recognise the hard work and dedication of Chambers across the country in representing their members, engaging stakeholders, and fostering vibrant and thriving local communities.
This year there were 44 projects shortlisted across eight categories, showcasing innovative communications campaigns, successful events, sustainable development initiatives, and creative collaborations between companies, local authorities and wider communities.
