As I take stock of my first six months in the office of President of County Wexford Chamber, I note with satisfaction that we now represent over 400 businesses in the whole of the county and our membership is growing. As president, along with the board, it is part of my remit to translate this soft power into action on matters that impact our members.
LOBBYING ACTIVITIES
To this end, we are building close relationships while at the same time lobbying our local and national politicians, governments officials, and councillors on initiatives that will improve both our quality of life and business environment. Some of these include dialogue with the IDA in relation to foreign investment, with Enterprise Ireland regarding international trade, around training and job opportunities with and in SETU Wexford Campus, with Irish Rail and Transport Infrastructure Ireland to improve public transport and road infrastructure.
Our Political Leaders Summit last February was a great success, and we are following that up with individual meetings with politicians to build on this momentum, seeking cross-party support for these issues that affect the whole county. I would also note that we are finding a greater willingness by politicians to engage with us, as business representatives for the whole of the county.
DISTRICT-LEVEL ENERGY
The four chapters of the Chamber, Wexford, Gorey, New Ross and Enniscorthy, have all been reinvigorated since the county came together, and each chapter is looking at the specific wants and needs of each area. These grassroots ideas and energy are feeding into the whole organisation, helping to energise us all.
With that in mind, I am currently undertaking a business road trip with your district’s Development Officer. If you would like to catch up for a coffee or have any specific questions or ideas, I would love to hear from you. Do contact me via info@countywexfordchamber.ie or leave a message with the team on 053 912 2226.
While the roll-out of the digital Shop Local card was a great success, we are not sitting on our laurels, with more digital transformation of the Chamber now taking place. Our new CRM system will ensure an agile response to the needs of our members in the Wexford business community.
Finally, the next few months in business will undoubtedly be turbulent, reflecting the current upheaval in international affairs. In my experience, the Irish business community is innovative, resilient and quick to pivot, if necessary. We are here to support and promote your business, signpost available resources, or make valuable introductions as we navigate together these “interesting times”.
Yours sincerely, Conor Robinson President, County Wexford Chamber

CEO REFLECTION
As I look back on the start of this year, I’m energised by all that we’ve accomplished together at County Wexford Chamber. It’s been a busy time - we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming many new members, deepening our relationships with corporate partners, and delivering some very successful events. On top of that, we’ve been busy delivering on even more exciting initiatives ahead.
SHOWCASE EVENTS
In February, we kicked off the year with our first flagship event of the year - the Political Leaders Summit held at the National Opera House and hosted by Ivan Yates. The level of engagement we received from Oireachtas members and MEPs has been outstanding, reaffirming the importance of open dialogue between business and policymakers. Their ongoing involvement is vital as we work together to shape a more competitive and responsive economic environment.
In March, we collaborated with the Local Enterprise Office to celebrate International Women’s Day under the “Accelerate Action” theme, spotlighting the essential contributions of women in business and leadership. The month wrapped up with our Job Fest, which united 30 employers and over 700 attendees, creating a dynamic
platform for talent exchange and new opportunities in our county.
In addition, we’re busy planning the 2025 Business Awards. I extend my thanks to our awards sponsors and to every entrant. The calibre of entries has noticeably increased, presenting our independent judges with a commendable challenge as they strive to select the very best amongst our entrants. This not only reflects the exceptional talent within our community but also sets a high benchmark for the years ahead.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
Internally, we’ve been busy enhancing our support systems. Following the successful launch of our Shop Local Gift Card programme in Q4 2024, we’ve continued our digital transformation by implementing a new CRM over the past couple of weeks. This upgrade streamlines our operations and enables us to deliver more tailored and efficient support to our members. In addition, we rolled out a new website that delivers an engaging, user-friendly experience - clearly showcasing the value of membership and highlighting our ongoing initiatives.
GLOBAL EVENTS
On the political front, we are navigating
CORPORATE PARTNERS 2025
a period of significant change with the introduction of new tariffs by the US. While these present immediate challenges, it is essential that Ireland and the EU respond with a measured approach. To navigate these complexities effectively, we must prioritise strategies that enhance our competitiveness and strengthen our trade engagement, rather than escalate tensions.
Thank you to our members, partners, and the broader County Wexford community for your support and collaboration. It is a privilege to work alongside such dedicated individuals, and I am excited about what we will achieve together in the coming year.
Paula Roche CEO, County Wexford Chamber
PARTNERSHIP EVENT
Empowering Women in Business on International Women’s Day
The International Women’s Day event in March, cohosted by Local Enterprise Office Wexford and County Wexford Chamber, was a resounding success, focusing on empowering women in business and promoting gender equality.
The packed room was inspired by keynote speakers Bevin Mahon, CEO of Dental Tech Group; Joanne Somers, MD of Johnsons Celtic Linen; Captain Leanne Nolan of the Irish Defence Forces; and Emma Connors, The Curious Consultant.
In her opening address, Breege Cosgrave, Head of Enterprise and Economic Development at Wexford County Council, highlighted progress in women’s leadership roles in Wexford County Council and the need to tackle the 9.6% national gender pay gap. Cllr Barbara-Anne Murphy, Chairperson of the Women’s Coalition of female county councillors, stressed the importance of women’s representation, noting that women currently hold just 25 per cent of seats in Dáil Éireann.
Bevin Mahon shared her journey of taking over her familyowned company, despite not being a dentist or dental technician. Her speech highlighted key takeaways such as finding opportunities in adversity, having a contingency plan, asking for help, securing available supports, surrounding oneself with supportive people, putting oneself and the team forward for awards, and meeting people where they are.
Captain Leanne Nolan shared her experiences of rising through the ranks in the Defence Forces, where women make up just six per cent of personnel, and the challenges of work-life integration. Joanne Somers reflected on her path to leadership in a male-dominated industry and how her team is embedding inclusivity at Johnsons Celtic Linen. Emma Connors spoke about the power of curiosity and imagination in business, her advocacy for social enterprise, and her work with Shuttle Knit Ireland in supporting marginalised communities.
This event truly embodied the call to drive change and accelerate action towards gender equality.

MEP visits place Chamber at heart of political dialogue
County Wexford Chamber was delighted to welcome MEPs Kathleen Funchion, Billy Kelleher, and Cynthia Ní Mhurchú recently for engaging discussions on key economic and infrastructural priorities.
The meetings focused on the interconnected challenges of enterprise, employment, and skills, highlighting the vital role of education, tourism, and discretionary spending in driving economic development.
Infrastructure was also a major focus, with discussions on the need to complete the M11 to Rosslare Europort, expand key east-to-west routes, and develop the infrastructure required for an offshore renewable energy hub at Rosslare Europort.
The Combined Transport Directive and its implications for the South East’s connectivity and freight infrastructure was reviewed, along with broader regional policy and enterprise supports to ensure balanced growth and long-term resilience. In addition, the MEPs heard about the key role that SETU can play through further growth and development of the county going forward with greater focus being put on innovation and research.
Taxation on indigenous businesses and the need for a fairer framework that supports the sustainability and
competitiveness of homegrown SMEs was also included in the dialogue.
With key takeaways outlined and next steps identifiedincluding collaboration with the county’s local TDs, Senator, and Minister, the Chamber is encouraged that the MEPs’ EU-level advocacy work will incorporate insights from this engagement with County Wexford’s business community.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Political Leaders Summit shapes the future of County Wexford
A full house heard the county’s TDs, Senator, and Ireland South MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú share their ideas on how best to shape the future of Wexford at our Political Leaders Summit in February.
Brian Brennan TD, Malcolm Byrne TD, George Lawlor TD, Johnny Mythen TD, Fionntán O Suilleabháin TD, Senator Cathal Byrne, and MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú addressed a range of topics, facilitated by MC Ivan Yates.
Infrastructure and FDI investment was a key concern, particularly the need to complete the M11, to establish a timeline for Trinity Wharf, and to maximise Rosslare Europort and road and rail links to Dublin. In addition, geopolitical issues, environmental concerns, and Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) were raised by panellists and attendees alike, with a desire for Wexford to be at the forefront of the sustainable agenda.
Gaps in infrastructure, such as housing, including social and affordable housing, serviced sites, and the condition
of rural roads were highlighted. Calls were also made for improved access to healthcare and to mental health services. In addition, the importance of lifelong education and upskilling, particularly the proposed new SETU campus in Wexford, new programmes, and retaining talent in County Wexford was listed as a key concern, along with tourism, including support of the hospitality sector and spreading tourism benefits across the entire county.
The Summit was also addressed by Wexford County Council CEO Eddie Taaffe who highlighted the need for accelerated investment so that vital services and infrastructure can be delivered. County Wexford Chamber CEO Paula Roche also gave an overview of Chamber services.
Also in attendance at the event were Mayor of Wexford, Cllr Catherine Biddy Walsh, Chamber President Conor Robinson, members of the media, politics, and the wider business community.
We wish to acknowledge the support of Wexford Bus for their kind sponsorship of this unique event.

Kent Stainless Innovating for Constant Growth
Ann O’Brien, Managing Director of Kent Stainless, tells Inside Wexford Business how adaptability, continuous improvement, and innovation have contributed to the company’s continued growth.
Ann O’Brien, Managing Director of Kent Stainless.
Q. Can you share elements of your career journey from joining the family business to your current role as Managing Director at Kent Stainless?
A. I have been the Managing Director of Kent Stainless since 2010, leading the company through significant growth and change. With over 25 years of experience, I am proud to be the first woman to head this 40-year-old engineering company. My journey at Kent Stainless began in finance before transitioning into HR, where I played a key role in managing rapid expansion and contraction in response to economic shifts. As Human Resources Director, I oversaw the company’s growth from 70 to over 200 employees and managed two acquisitions, including the relocation of a factory from Dublin to Wexford.
Throughout my leadership, I have remained committed to continuous improvement—modernising the company with an ERP system, investing in capital equipment, and driving international expansion. I strongly believe in building a strong management team and enabling them to run the business. Kent Stainless continues to grow, and I am excited about the opportunities ahead.
Q. Kent Stainless has a strong reputation both in Ireland and internationally. What do you think has been the key to the company’s success?
A. Our success is built on a foundation of quality, innovation, and lasting customer relationships. From the beginning, we have been committed to exceptional craftsmanship and the highest industry standards, earning the trust of clients both in Ireland and around the world. Today, half of our products are exported across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the USA - something we take great pride in.
Adaptability and innovation have also been key. The manufacturing industry is constantly evolving, with automation, smart manufacturing, AI, and 3D printing enhancing efficiency, product quality, and responsiveness. Digital integration optimises operations and reduces downtime.
We’ve embraced change by adopting new technologies, refining our processes, and staying ahead of industry advancements. This commitment to innovation, combined with our reputation as a trusted and reliable partner, has allowed us to grow steadily while building long-term relationships with our clients.
We also believe that investing in people is just as important as investing in technology. Our apprenticeship programme has been instrumental in developing the next generation of skilled professionals, ensuring a steady pipeline of talent in engineering, assembly, and metalworking trades.
Q. Sustainability is a growing focus across industries. How is Kent Stainless incorporating sustainability into its operations?
A. Sustainability is central to our strategy. We aim to reduce emissions by 5% annually, with a long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions. In 2024, we installed solar panels, reducing power consumption by 15% and transitioned to 100% renewable energy.
We have also prioritised sustainable product design.
Stainless steel’s recyclability supports our eco-friendly approach, with over 80% made from recycled metal. Additionally, we embrace Lean Management Principles to streamline operations, reduce waste, and improve efficiency.
We support the circular economy by creating long-lasting products that prioritise repair and reuse over replacement. These efforts ensure we remain environmentally responsible while maintaining profitability and competitiveness.
Q. What are the biggest challenges facing the manufacturing industry, and how is Kent Stainless adapting?
A. Key challenges include supply chain disruptions, rising material costs, labour shortages, political instability, and increasing sustainability demands. We address these by expanding in-house capabilities, optimising material use, and sourcing from local suppliers.
To combat skilled labour shortages, we invest in apprenticeships and workforce development. We also embrace automation and robotics to enhance productivity. Our strong management and adaptability have allowed
us to navigate economic shifts and ensure long-term success.
Q. Skilled talent is essential for manufacturing success. Tell us more about your apprenticeship programme.
A. We are passionate about nurturing talent through our apprenticeship programme, which plays a vital role in shaping the future of our company. With 22 apprentices currently training in metal fabrication, engineering, and assembly, we are committed to providing hands-on experience and mentorship to help individuals build rewarding careers.
Our annual Apprenticeship Open Day is always a special occasion, offering potential candidates the chance to explore our state-of-the-art facilities, meet our team, and hear first-hand from current apprentices about their experiences.
One success story that stands out is Johnny Day, who joined us in 2003 through a work experience placement. His dedication and talent were evident from the start, and we were delighted to offer him an apprenticeship. Over the years, Johnny’s hard work and determination have seen him progress from a stainless-steel fabricator to an R&D engineer. Most recently, after earning his Bachelor of Engineering in Manufacturing Engineering, he was promoted to PSM Projects Engineering Team Lead. His journey is a true testament to the power of apprenticeships, and we couldn’t be prouder of what he has achieved.
Q. Kent Stainless is a key employer in the region and a proud supporter of County Wexford Chamber. How important is maintaining strong ties with the local business community to the company’s success?
A. As a key employer in the South East of Ireland, strong ties with the local business community are vital. County Wexford Chamber has facilitated valuable networking opportunities, training, and political connections that support our business.
Our commitment to training and workforce development helps sustain a skilled labour pool, ensuring Wexford remains competitive in global manufacturing. By supporting local initiatives and fostering economic growth, we strengthen both our business and the region’s future.
Q. What advice would you give to aspiring business leaders, particularly women looking to step into leadership roles in manufacturing?
A. The manufacturing sector is a dynamic, evolving field that offers a wealth of opportunities, and diverse leadership is essential for driving innovation, improving performance, and creating more inclusive, effective workplaces. My advice would be to be confident in your abilities and never underestimate the power of perseverance. The manufacturing industry, like any other, requires hard work, adaptability, and a strong vision. But it’s also a field where women can truly make a significant impact by bringing new perspectives and innovative solutions to the table. First, seek out opportunities to learn and grow, whether
it’s through formal education, mentorship, or handson experience. Second, don’t shy away from taking leadership roles. It’s easy to feel intimidated, especially in male-dominated industries, but trust in your unique strengths. As a woman in leadership, I believe that we bring a different approach to problem-solving and decision-making, and that diversity is incredibly valuable in driving business success.
Lastly, be resilient. The path to leadership isn’t always smooth, but it’s the challenges that ultimately shape you into a stronger leader. Stay focused on your goals, be open to feedback, and never lose sight of your vision.
Manufacturing is a fantastic industry with immense opportunities, and women have the potential to lead and transform it in ways that will leave a lasting impact.
Q. Finally, what’s next for Kent Stainless?
A. We are focused on expanding our capabilities with advanced automation and digital manufacturing. Sustainability remains a priority, with ongoing green initiatives to reduce our carbon footprint.
We aim to grow our global presence, strengthening existing relationships and exploring new markets. Investing in workforce development through apprenticeships and training ensures we have the talent to support our expansion. Kent Stainless is positioned for continued innovation and success in the years ahead.

County Wexford Chamber Skillnet Driving Workforce Development to Close Skills Gaps Across the Region
New research conducted by Skillnet Ireland has highlighted Ireland’s ongoing challenges in workforce development across the country. Launched at the end of March, the report, titled “Ireland’s Talent Landscape 2025” identifies difficulties in recruiting employees with the necessary skill sets.
This research has underscored the importance of investment in talent to maintain a competitive edge.
The study surveyed 500 businesses across Ireland to assess emerging trends in talent development and found that almost half of the businesses surveyed expressed difficulty in finding employees with essential skills in a rapidly evolving economic environment.
According to the survey, almost 80% of businesses indicated their staff will require digital upskilling in the coming years to perform their roles. The most popular digital skillsets included business intelligence and cloud computing for larger firms and MS Office and AI for smaller firms and micro businesses.
• Lean In Construction, Driving Performance, Profitability and Productivity
• Safeguarding Mental Health in Irish Workplaces
• Effective Strategic Leadership
• Authentic Female Leadership
• Strategy Planning
• And many more!
The report highlighted the significant shortage of ‘green talent’ with sustainability and climate action reflecting the growing importance of environmental responsibility and regulatory compliance.
The feedback from companies that have participated in these programmes has been overwhelmingly positive. Aisling O’Connor, Network Manager with County Wexford Chamber Skillnet said: “I am absolutely thrilled with the feedback that we have received on our programmes so far from our member companies; I am a strong advocate of lifelong learning and workforce development and believe that your people are your asset.
In 2025, County Wexford Chamber Skillnet has also identified a growing demand for soft skills, leadership and management skills development, particularly for SMEs across the region.
• ESG for Business Success
• Core Skills for New Managers
“A skilled workforce improves overall business performance and is better equipped to adapt to economic shifts and evolving market demands.”
To this end, we have partnered with training providers and worked closely with companies to develop and roll out subsidised open and in-house training programmes to bridge the gaps including:
County Wexford Chamber Skillnet funding is available to any private or semi-State business in County Wexford that has an interest in upskilling their employees and benefiting from networking with other companies in the region.
• AI and Content Creation Bootcamp
• Executive Coaching Programmes

Leading Wexford GAA into the Future: An Exclusive Q&A with
New Chairperson John Kenny
Q. Congratulations on your new role! Tell us a little about your background in GAA and your journey to this position?
A. Apart from some years when I lived away through travelling and work, Campile was and is my home. Inevitably, Horeswood GAA is my club, and I have been club secretary and, later, chairperson for six years during which we were very successful on and off the field. While winning several county titles, we also developed an indoor arena with a childcare facility and gym, put floodlights on our main pitch and put a plan in place to purchase ground for an additional pitch. I also represented Horeswood GAA at County Board level.
During all this time, I was also involved with my daughters’ activities in the club and also managed adult football and hurling teams. I was involved at county management level in 2020, and then Chairperson of Coiste na nÓg for four years, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Q. What are your ambitions for Wexford teams at both club and county levels?
A. Our job in relation to clubs is to facilitate meaningful games programmes and provide the necessary coaching, knowledge and skills for them to be effective.
As regards teams, my main responsibility is to Wexford inter county teams. A significant budget and a tremendous amount of hard work goes into the preparation of our county teams, at adult and underage level. Players put in massive effort and make huge sacrifices to play at inter county level, they are amateur sportsmen who live, train and work as professionals. Of course, we set goals and KPIs for ourselves, but my ask is that we perform to the best of our ability on any given day.
Q. What initiatives are in place to support young players?
A. We have full-time coaching staff, led by Ray Harris, Games Development Manager, working in clubs and schools. There are inter county development squads from U14 to Minor in both football and hurling. We need to ensure that all resources are maximised across inter county and club levels. This involves a systematic review process to align our training and development resources with our ambitions.
This year, we will begin to form a Strategic Plan for Wexford GAA up to 2030 - development of underage talent will be key to that. I want to get to a point where we will have a constant stream of players coming through from our hurling and football development squad
Q. Any upcoming projects or upgrades planned for Wexford GAA?
A. We have just completed the development of Chadwicks Wexford Park, which is now one of the finest GAA facilities outside of Croke Park.
Our next major infrastructure project is Phase 3 of the Ferns Centre of Excellence. This will include installation of a fully floodlit astro pitch, six new dressing rooms, an enhanced gymnasium, redeveloped office and kitchen facilities, and a new spectator stand on the main pitch.
Q. How do you see the relationship between Wexford GAA and the local business community evolving?
A. Community is the bedrock that the GAA is formed on, and obviously local businesses are an integral part of this. They sponsor and support their local clubs; without them, most could not operate. We have great relationships with our sponsors; every one of them are operating within our local communities.
I also believe our games are good for many sectors of business in Wexford – for example, our games under lights and upcoming championship matches in Chadwicks Wexford Park bring a great boost in business. Also, the national Feile na nGael is here again this year - last year, hotel bedrooms across the county were sold out that weekend and hopefully will be the again this year. What’s good for local businesses is good for Wexford!

Engagement with TDs to address key regional issues and opportunities
In March, our District Chapters met with TDs from their respective constituencies. In Gorey, Brian Brennan TD met with businesspeople, with the lack of IDA-organised FDI visits to Gorey under the Regional Aid Fund a key priority.
The impact of geopolitical issues on potential investments, as well as the opportunities afforded by new and existing markets in Asia were mentioned. In addition, the opportunity for collective action to boost development across the South East will be an area of focus for the Chamber. At a local level, attendees highlighted the challenges impacting the retail sector, concerns over Garda numbers in the Gorey district, opportunities for hospitality growth in the Courtown area, and the impact of traffic management issues in Gorey.

Our Wexford Town Chapter hosted George Lawlor TD to discuss several key priorities for the town and wider region. Among the topics explored were opportunities to enhance the cultural experience of Wexford, including preparations for the upcoming Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann.
The interconnected development needs of Rosslare Europort
as an Offshore Renewable Energy hub, and the necessity of a supporting curriculum once the SETU Wexford Campus is established were also highlighted. Strengthening Wexford’s international ties, particularly links with Savannah and Georgia State University, as well as partnerships with EU counterparts, was discussed, along with the collaboration required to drive the Trinity Wharf development along.

Chambers Ireland calls for measured response to US tariffs
Chambers Ireland has called for a focus on competitiveness and strategic trade engagement to mitigate any adverse economic impact.
“While the tariffs present immediate challenges, it is essential that Ireland and the EU respond with calm and resolve,” said Ian Talbot, CEO of Chambers Ireland and Secretary General of ICC Ireland. “To navigate these challenges effectively, we should prioritise strategies that (a) enhance our competitiveness and (b) strengthen our trade engagement, rather than escalating tensions.”
He emphasised that enabling businesses to sell goods and provide services in other markets remains critical to mitigating the impact of tariffs.
MARKET ACCESS
“Market access must now be a key focus, which means helping businesses understand the regulatory and logistical requirements they must address to succeed in trade. We need to utilise the advantages of the Single Market and our access to the UK market while continuing to diversify into
new international markets. Investment will be essential to ensure that businesses have the support to enter and expand in other markets.
“With the right approach, this challenge can become a catalyst for progress. Both the Capital Markets Union and the Banking Union should be progressed to improve access to finance for small businesses, support the green and digital transitions and strengthen our economic resilience.”
VITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Mr Talbot continued: “There are likely to be significantly different sectoral challenges arising from US policies and potential responses over the next few weeks. Government must closely monitor the impacts, particularly on SMEs, and consider measures to support viable businesses as they reengineer their business models.
“Finally, Government must pursue an urgent, relentless focus on the delivery of vital infrastructure. Delivering on what we can control has never been more important.”
