Chair of RTE board to speak at Newry Chamber President's Banquet

​Supported by Principal Sponsors, Canal Court Hotel & Spa and Ulster Bank, the President’s Banquet is one of the highlights of the business year with over 200 guests expected from organisations across the Greater Newry area.

This year’s Keynote Speaker is Siún Ní Raghallaigh, Chairperson of RTÉ Board, in conversation with the award-winning broadcaster and journalist, Donna Traynor. We will also hear from a panel of local business representatives on this year’s theme, ‘Celebrating Growth - Building Prosperity’.

Guests will enjoy a beautiful three-course meal, music and a raffle in aid of this year’s chosen charities, Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Life & Time.

The winner of this year’s President’s Award will also be announced on the day which was launched at last year’s Banquet and presented to an individual in recognition of their inspirational contribution to the Greater Newry Area.

The switch to lunchtime for the Banquet has proved very popular with members and it is a great opportunity for businesses to host their clients, customers and staff in a celebration of all that is great about doing business in the Greater Newry Area and we do hope you can join us this year.

Julie Gibbons, President of Newry Chamber commented: “The Chamber has always been about businesses and individuals coming together, sharing ideas and supporting each other. We want to celebrate this collaborative spirit at the Banquet.

"We are grateful to Banquet Sponsors, Ulster Bank and the Canal Court Hotel & Spa for their support.

"We are delighted to have the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) and Life & Time as the Charity Partners for the event too.”

Tickets for this year’s President’s Banquet are priced at £70.00 + VAT for Chamber Members and £80.00 + VAT for Non-Members and can be booked via www.newrychamber.com.
