Julie Gibbons, President of Newry Chamber, said: “There is no question the few years have been amongst the toughest times faced by businesses and society in general.
“However, from the over 150 award applications received by the Chamber, we can clearly see that the local economy is being driven by many hardworking, ambitious and talented people.”
“The Employee & Team Awards hold a special place for me, as this is the opportunity to really recognise our people.
“I often say to my team, that leaders are only as good as their team. I would say most business owners would say that if it wasn’t for the commitment, work and loyalty of their teams and “covid heroes”, we would never have made it through the last couple of difficult years.”
