Local Notes

Dunleer Jobs and Business EXPO/ MidLouth Trade show 2010

Wednesday March 10 2010

ON last Wednesday, March 3rd, Dunleer Community Development Board, in association with the Mid-Louth Traders Association, held this year's Dunleer Business and Jobs EXPO in Lannleire Pavilion, Dunleer, Co Louth.

The DCDB had been planning this exhibition for several months, and they were absolutely delighted at the amazing response from traders and the public to our event.

There was a tremendous turnout by exhibitors, some of whom included the following: Fás, Enterprise Ireland Louth Leader Partnership Louth County Enterprise Board (LCEB) Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT)

There were over 60 businesses exhibiting, including food producers, web site consultants, security systems, insurers, garden landscapers, kitchen fitters, elegant clothes, cosmetics, jewellery, beauticians, home heating solutions.

And also exhibits from local community and sporting organisations. It is fair to say the Executive of the DCDB were very happy with the successful day, as a result of our hard work, and viewed each stand with great interest, noting in particular the effort that went into each one.

Of the exhibitors on display, the DCDB Executive Committee considered Mooremount Kitchens stand as the best turned out on the day, and highly commended them.

Mr Seamus Walker, of Mooremount Kitchens, was asked how the EXPO had been for him and his business?

The EXPO trade fair had been a great success from a local business point of view, Seamus said. When asked was there anything he would like to say to the DCDB as to how the EXPO was organised, he replied: 'We found the event to be very well organised, and the presentation of the event was very inviting. As a company, we are very much looking forward to another trade show being organised by Dunleer Community Development Board in the near future.'

The Dunleer Community Development Board would like to thank the Mid-Louth Traders Association for their participation in organising the event with us on this occasion, Lannleire GFC for the use of the Lannleire Pavilion Complex, the many exhibitors, and you, the public, who came to support your local businesses. Despite all the doom and gloom prevalent, it is heartening to know there is a sense of optimism among our local businesses.

On another note, we would also like to wish the organisers of Dunleer's 2010 St Patrick's Day Parade every success, and best wishes from the DCDB. We wish you well. We hope it is a great day for all involved.
