What our members say

Chambers of Commerce are a vital local resource for SME’s. Being a Chamber member provides the opportunity to attend lots of interesting talks and networking events, and to get a better understanding of the local issues facing business owners.  I always feel better informed having attended an event, or listened online. Chamber membership has also afforded me the opportunity to successfully promote my own business to existing and prospective clients.
Shane Connors Shane Connors Connors & Co
Chamber membership has been invaluable throughout 2020, they have been our Go-To resource for information, training, education and networking as we continue to deal with both Covid & Brexit.
Shane Curran Shane Curran HomeCompany
‘Being a member of Dungarvan and West Waterford Chamber has been very beneficial to Lismore Heritage Centre creating a connection to the wider business community….. the newsletters and training opportunities have been great. The information on funding streams available and the feeling of being connected to other businesses in the same situation has been very positive.  The D&WW chamber also created opportunities for collective advertising and marketing which would not have been possible as an individual SME with limited marketing budgets.’

Mealla Fahey Lismore Heritage Centre
‘Being part of the Chamber of Commerce is an important part of being in business in our community. 2020 forced us all to avoid each other but Jenny and the Chamber kept us feeling like we were still part of a network. Events may be on hold but it is still paramount, more than ever, to stay involved.‘
Michael Moore Moore Financial Consultants
We at Kiersey’s Bar & Tearooms Kilmacthomas find it very beneficial to be a member of the D&WW Chamber as we know their team of business experts are only a phone call away to help us with any business query we may have. From the regular events held, we get a chance to connect with similar size businesses which is a great way of swapping ideas, advice & information as well as promoting your business to the fellow D&WW Chamber members.

Jenny Kiersey Kierseys Bar & Tea Rooms
The Chamber has a strong focus on supporting local small businesses, offering a wide range of supports that we have benefited greatly from, especially during recent Covid/Brexit challenges.
Stephen Walsh AerHaus
‘Our business has benefited hugely from membership in particular during 2020. The weekly emails outlining the different supports available during the pandemic are invaluable, giving information on supports available to businesses which we may not have known about otherwise. Chamber vouchers have been of huge benefit to our business and are used year-round. Chamber also promotes initiatives benefiting us directly, such as our Click /phone and deliver service.’
Simon Moloney Pat Moloney Furniture
We have been members of Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber since 2016 and they have always been a great source of information and help but especially in 2020. They were in constant contact with all the updated information regarding grants, rates and subsidies.

We have seen an increase in sales through the Chamber vouchers which we find are a great boost to our business and local businesses, especially now as it’s a very important time to keep business local.

Philip Flynn Dungarvan Tyre Centre Ltd
‘Since joining the Chamber we can only describe our experience as exceptional. The Chamber has been outstanding with their support particularly during the 2020 pandemic and have constantly evolved in order to meet the needs of members …..the Chamber has also helped raise our  profile by promoting our social media posts and including us in campaigns, there’s no doubt that we received extra custom. Being a Chamber member is an important and rewarding investment for our business – is such a reassurance for a small business knowing that we have that support.

Aoife Hallahan & Emma O’Keeffe Barrons Coffee House
‘With the arrival of COVID-19 in 2020, we found the Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber worked with our business, giving us support to navigate through all the lockdowns successfully. The D&WWC Live Webinars helped with the challenge of staying in touch and informed with other businesses, this was invaluable in keeping us focused and motivated. We look forward to continuing to work with the Chamber in 2021.’
Muriel Healy Healy’s Daybreak
‘Fraher Media benefited greatly from membership, especially during the pandemic. Collaboration occurred between my business & the D&WW Chamber on some informational videos to help other members, in turn giving Fraher Media extra exposure during a critical time. Chamber’s strong Shop Local Support Local message encouraged people to shop local and think local which also benefited me and others in a similar field. As a business, I know Dungarvan and West Waterford businesses are lucky to have such a proactive and progressive team working beside us.’

James Fraher Fraher Media
‘Being a part of the D&WW Chamber since we opened our doors in 2019 has been a huge benefit for us. The continuous support the Chamber team gave us has been second to none. Last year was a tough one for everyone, but getting all information from the Chamber about grants and support schemes available, helped take some of the pressure off us. They are constantly advertising businesses on their social media which is a great help. Any questions they’re just a phone call away.’

Annemarie & Carol The 2 Sisters
‘Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber have always been a fantastic support, but last March when the world was turned upside down, Jenny and her team kept their feet firmly planted on the ground. They provided us with clear, precise information on the all the resources such as grants, supports, etc that were available to us. They promoted the Voucher Scheme and provided regular listings of businesses doing Click and Collect, or a Food Takeaway Service. We had a number of very informative webinars & the Wellness Chest was a brilliant initiative, a collection of 10 videos I regularly go back to.’

Linda Hogan Dan McCarthy Home Interiors
Being a Chamber member has benefitted us as follows:

  • Increased business through the Chamber Vouchers
  • Access to a broader range of education/training
  • Increased access to the local business community
  • Increased awareness of upcoming changes’

Kevin Forde Dungarvan Daybreak
‘After 25 years in large corporations, I was concerned about losing the interaction and challenge of working with a broad and diverse group of colleagues and stakeholders when setting up my own SME business back in 02’. Becoming a participative member of The Dungarvan & West Waterford Chambers swiftly put paid to that fear, via engaging me in highly productive networking events, quality training programmes and constantly keeping me very awakened to the macro challenges and potential opportunities associated with stuff like Brexit, Covid-19, etc.. Jenny and the Team are really on top of their game when it comes to communicating solutions and opportunities.’

Pat Whyte Printmaster
‘Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber has been of great benefit to us during the Covid 19 Pandemic. Though their communications & guidance, we were in a position to keep our workshop and parts open for essential repairs etc . Through the Chamber’s prompt delivery of relevant and important information, it also helped us remain open for business our in van and car hire department (South East Car and Van Hire). The past 12 months have been tough for everyone, having such a strong support has been essential to keep Dungarvan Nissan moving forward.’

Eddie FitzGerald Dungarvan Nissan
“360 Cookhouse benefitted substantiafrom Chamber membership through the Covid crfisis – the info on HR was also invaluable throughout the entire period and we were able to pass much of it directly onto our employees. We also benefitted throughout December from Chamber vouchers – we’ve never taken in so much in such a short period of time. Overall, the sense of connection to our locality at this incredibly trying time helped us to remember that we’re not alone in all of this.”

Vincent Pettit 360 Cookhouse
‘I have been a member of the Dungarvan Chamber of Commerce since 2009. I have always found the Chamber to be extremely supportive and this has been particularly evident during the pandemic. The on-line support and advice has been excellent. The encouragement to shop local has helped all of our local businesses, particularly with the Chamber vouchers. The on-going advice, support and encouragement is much appreciated.’
Mary Stokes Dungarvan Orthodontic Practice
‘Mobiletraining.ie benefitted from being a member of D&WW Chamber in 2020 as they were the main outlet for small businesses like ours to raise legitimate concerns with Government about all things COVID.

They especially registered our disquiet when it was proposed that directors of small companies could not avail of the wage subsidy schemes. The D&WW Chamber lobbied this and many other issues on our behalf.’

JP Ryan MobileTraining.ie
‘While the Chamber is not 24/7, it certainly feels like it. We benefit greatly as members, as the Chamber is a reservoir of information for Business owners to tap into. The security of having a business partner, where you can bounce a concern or question off – this peace of mind is invaluable. During lockdown, we were asked to participate in a number of very important surveys. Vital that small business get the opportunity to provide worrying trends and financial pressures due to the pandemic. Being a member of such a large lobby group, is crucial in having your voice heard.’

Joe Roche Joe Roche Glass & Glazing
“Our Pharmacy has been on Main St since 1915 and we take great pride in serving our community. Being part of the Chamber gives us an ability to be part of the business and commercial life of our town, it also gives us a chance to have our voice heard. The Chamber gives a strong and coherent voice to businesses and the hundreds we employ in Dungarvan and West Waterford. Chamber vouchers give us access to customers who were leaving town to shop in non Irish owned business and my staff appreciate them too!”

“Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber has been truly supportive to The Food Safety Company during difficult times. The Chamber continuously promotes our Safety and HACCP Courses to the membership. We are included in marketing offers and other valuable initiatives that the Chamber provide. Membership is worthwhile and offers us very good value.”

Mary Daly The Food Safety Company
“We value the Role that the D&WW Chamber plays locally in promoting the area and helping local businesses. The Chamber has organised webinars and online meetings, some with high profile speakers and Government Ministers and provided a huge amount of very useful information regarding many different aspects of running a business in these difficult times. Chamber was very quick to adapt to new ways of interacting, following the onset of the first lockdown restrictions, it is obvious that the Chamber is forward thinking and always striving to improve and deliver a better service to its members”

Tomas Horgan Dungarvan Transport
“While 2020 has been a challenge for everyone, the Chamber team has successfully provided a range of services to inform and support businesses throughout the year. For my business, where I specialise in Strategic Planning and Implementation of Growth Plans, the Chamber initiatives and networking events helped me identify business opportunities to pursue across a number of industry sectors. When I reflect on 2020 and all the challenges we faced I can thank Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber for the support and opportunities it provided me to grow my consultancy business.”

Denis Herlihy Business Consultant
“Never has Chamber Membership been of such importance to me or indeed my business as in 2020. The Chamber has been the ”One Stop Shop ” for all information such as Grants, supports and interagency help through the pandemic and it saved me countless hours of time and anxiety trying to find things out. The wellbeing and mental health workshops must be commended, as not only were the Chamber on top of all things Financial but also on personal wellbeing which was a massive part of Recovery. Also being tagged and promoted through social media – the Chamber has such a large following  people are always saying they saw us tagged on the Chamber Facebook”

Dave Connors Dungarvan Paints & DIY
“The biggest benefit we received from our membership of the D&WW Chamber was the regular, up to date info on all the grants available throughout the year and how to apply. We also shared our concerns and appreciated the lobbying the Chamber did for members at local, Regional & National levels.”

Eugene Tobin Movies @Dungarvan
“A huge advantage for us this year was the Chamber shopping vouchers. Not just the vouchers in circulation, but also the way that the whole scheme promotes the message of how important it is to shop and support local. The second biggest advantage of membership was the information and workshops on Brexit. Lastly the COVID information and support was really significant.”
