Photos: Businesses Network At Tralee Expo

Posted by

THERE were over 50 businesses showing their wares at the Fels Point Hotel on Tuesday for the inaugural Tralee Chamber Alliance Business Expo.

While the crowds were not as big as expected at this free event, it was a chance for businesses present to network, swap ideas and get to know each other.

The event, which was held between 4pm and 8pm, saw members of the Chamber Alliance to develop their databases while meeting with potential customers. Many businesses had special offers and discounts on the night.

“We were very pleased with the support from local businesses,” said CEO of Tralee Chamber Alliance, Kieran Ruttledge.

“Our target was to get 50 stands and we got 52 which was great. It really showed the excellent services and attractions the town has to offer and you can answer all your business needs in Tralee,” said Mr Ruttledge.

He said that they were very grateful to the Fels Point Hotel for supplying the rooms free of charge and there are plans afoot to run the Expo again next year.
