Laois business owners gather for insightful regional forum

Business owners from across Laois came together for the recent Laois Chamber Alliance Regional Gathering at Bloom HQ in Mountrath.

The event focused on connection within the business community, collaboration and helping businesses get greater value from being part of the Chamber network.

The gathering gave local business owners the opportunity to meet with other entrepreneurs, share experiences and explore ways they can support each other.

Attendees took part in networking discussions, explored referral opportunities and shared insights on the challenges and opportunities currently facing businesses in Mountrath and across Laois.

Participants also learned more about how to maximise the benefits of Chamber membership, increase their business visibility and engage more actively with the wider business community.

Speaking after the event, Jackie Carroll, CEO of Laois Chamber Alliance, said: “We want every business in Laois to feel connected, supported, and visible. Running a business can be a lonely place, and being part of a strong business network can make a real difference.

“Chamber membership works best when businesses get involved. Events like this are about more than networking. They are about building relationships, opening doors, creating referral opportunities, and helping businesses feel part of something bigger.”

Laois Chamber Alliance has encouraged its members to continue using the network by attending similar events, sharing business updates and participating in the Chamber’s activities.

The next opportunity for businesses to connect will be Laois Shines on Monday, September 7 and then the next Laois Chamber Alliance Regional Gathering on Wednesday, October 7.

This regional meeting will take place from 6pm to 7pm at Making Tracks in Ballybrophy.
