About Us
Glanmire Chamber of Commerce is a dynamic business network representing local business and is deeply rooted in the local community, It’s main remit is to support and promote local business in the first instance. We encourage interaction between our members who can benefit each other mutually, as customers - by being both buyers and sellers - both selling and buying from each other and through referrals and building awareness of each others’ potential, products and services.
Our motto is Shop Local – it works for everyone. When you buy from local businesses, it makes a real difference. Not only will you get first class products and outstanding experiences, but you will also be playing your part in supporting local jobs, the community and businesses. We welcome new members, and our strength is in both continuing and encouraging active participation by all members. Please visit our Members section to find out more and follow the link to join us.
