Liverpool launches new business club

An Irish business club has been successfully launched in Liverpool and it is hoped the concept will now spread to other cities in Britain and Ireland.

Around 100 people attended the launch night at St. Michael’s Irish Centre and organiser Agnes Fitzgerald from Co. Limerick believes that many opportunities will come from the business connections made.

She said: “Our aim is to link Irish business people at all levels; professions, trades people, services — we want to cover the whole spectrum so Irish people have a network of contacts throughout the city and further afield.”

The networking group is called Irish Business Abroad and is initially being launched in Liverpool and Dublin.

Ms Fitzgerald said: “There are already lots of business contacts between the two cities and we hope to build on those and expand outwards.”

The group meets every month and the next social evening is on February 7 at St. Michael’s.

Director of Entourage PR and Event Management Donna McCourt said: “It is a very relaxed venue and a good environment to make business connections.

“As well as that they have a shop selling Irish produce and a lot of the people at the launch were pleased to be able to buy products they can only usually get at home.”

If you are a Liverpool-based Irish business person and would like further information contact Donna McCourt 07824 629214 or e-mail donna@entouragepr.co.uk.
