Ballymena Business Centre ‘remains resilient’ - Chairperson

Speaking at the Centre’s annual general meeting last week, Mr McAvoy said: “2011 has proved to be a difficult year for many businesses within our community and Ballymena Business Centre is not immune to the prevailing economic conditions. Despite the challenges we faced in 2011, we have remained resilient”.

Mr McAvoy pointed out that the company is managed on the basis of sound business principles and that this, in turn, provides a stable foundation from which it can service the people, businesses and communities of Ballymena.

He said: “With the forthcoming launch of our four-year Strategic Plan, we look forward to building upon the success of what has been achieved to date, to build trusted partnerships with our key stakeholders and making a positive contribution to our local community”.

Mr McAvoy concluded by extending thanks to his fellow Directors for their voluntary support throughout 2011 and appreciation to the staff team of Ballymena Business Centre for “their commitment in such challenging times”.
