Chamber of the Year

Cork Chamber was awarded the title of ‘2020 Chamber of the Year’ at the Chambers Ireland annual Chamber Awards, sponsored by Zurich. The Awards recognise the outstanding work of Chambers throughout the country while providing a national platform for Chambers to share and promote how they continue to be active and excel in developing initiatives, events, campaigns and further activities that contribute to their Chamber locality and wider geographic region.

In addition, five new board members and directors were elected; Susie Horgan, Springboard PR and Marketing; Robert Horgan, Velo Coffee Roasters; Maxine Hyde, Ballymaloe Foods; Michael Nolan, Grant Thornton and Debbie Power, Vodafone. The retiring board members Mark Whitaker and Shane Clarke were thanked for the exemplary commitment they have shown to the Chamber. Thanks were also extended to outgoing Hon. Secretary Richard Martin and Immediate Past President Bill O’Connell who were at the end of their terms on the Board.
