skibbereen chamber of commerce Archives - Skibbereen, West Cork, Ireland

Skibbereen & District Chamber of Commerce and Skibbereen Tidy Towns are delighted to support the “SHINY HAPPY SKIBBEREEN” project which takes place this May

Bridge St will be getting a “Spring Clean” on Sunday 25th May as part of a pilot project, with more areas to follow, all helping Skibbereen look its best for visitors and locals alike

Preparations for the event will start on Saturday evening the 24th and the project would love your help over the 2 days!

Don’t worry all work and no play can be very dull so there will be music, street entertainment, balloons and face painters to help brighten the day.

The premises to be painted & “spruced up” include The Favourite, ACC Bank, Old Health Shop, Patrick McCarthy’s, Donal O’Donovan’s and Marie Walsh (Bus Stop)

Let’s get together and see what we can do!

The focus will be on ‘Creating a Winning Formula for Christmas 2013’ which will be delivered by James Burke. The format will be a presentation by James, followed by Q&A followed by free networking.

The event will be free and open to all businesses in West Cork.

James Burke has over 23 years experience in the retail & FMCG market. He has also worked as a business consultant on Feargal Quinn’s Retail Therapy programme on RTE and has delivered numerous retail development programmes across Ireland, inlcuding Skibbereen this year.

In his current role as a business consultant, James provides strategic advice and business planning for some of Irelands best known companies. He will be speaking on the night about how local businesses can create a winning business formula for Christmas 2013. www.jamesburke.ie
