Chamber backs our Shop Local campaign

A spokesperson for the Causeway Chamber said: “Causeway Chamber of Commerce is the leading voice of the business community in the region.

“We promote the interests of our members and the wider business community through our contacts and influence with local, regional and national government, with educational institutions and with other community sectors. We strive to support the creation of the best possible climate in which to nurture the economic activity in our region.”

“Causeway Chamber, Coleraine Borough Council and University of Ulster are currently working on a joint initiative called ‘Future Search’.

“The purpose is to bring lasting improvement in the economic, physical and social condition for our region. This will be an opportunity for Chamber members, town centre traders, retailers and businesses to generate issues that will be taken into a conference scheduled to take place in May with representatives from various sectors including, Health, Education, Community and our Youth.

“The conference in May is one of the many steps we are taking in this journey. There will be many opportunities to get involved, share your thoughts and join in the action. Causeway Chamber, Coleraine Borough Council and University of Ulster would encourage all members, traders, retailers and local businesses to get involved.
