‘Get Galway Moving’ wins Chamber Award

Galway Chamber has taken the honours for the ‘Most Successful Policy Campaign’ for their project, “Get Galway Moving” at the Chambers Ireland annual Chamber Awards.

The Awards seek to 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.

Galway Chamber CEO Kenny Deery said that the campaign was launched in Leinster House last September led by outgoing Chamber President Dave Hickey, and Elaine Brick, Chair of the Galway Chamber Transport Sub-Committee.

“Since then it has received support and endorsement of political and business leaders who are all seeking change to the way we move about our city,” he said.

“While this campaign will run for years, we are delighted that this work is recognised at a national level by Chambers Ireland,” he added.

Chambers Ireland President Siobhan Kinsella congratulated Galway Chamber on their win.

“These Awards share a perspective on the work and active engagement that each Chamber puts in with their local communities, amidst ongoing challenges and highlights the standards of excellence the Chamber network establishes as a whole in supporting local business nationwide,” she added.
