Cathal Geoghegan is New NI Chamber President

Cathal Geoghegan, managing director at Henderson Foodservice, has been elected as the new president of NI Chamber.

He succeeds Gillian McAuley, chief people officer at Eakin Healthcare, who has held the position for the past 12 months. Caitroina McCusker, regional market leader for PwC Northern Ireland, is the membership organisation’s new vice president.

Mr Geoghegan officially took over the role at its Annual General Meeting on Thursday 1 June 2023. Speaking at the AGM, he said: “I am delighted to be NI Chamber’s new president and feel extremely honoured to take on the role which has been held by some of the region’s most successful businesspeople over many decades. This year NI Chamber is celebrating 240 years in existence – to be part of that celebration and its legacy is very special indeed.”

“I am honoured to have been appointed as vice president of NI Chamber and look forward to supporting Cathal over the course of the next year. The organisation’s local, national and international reputation is stronger than ever and it is doing sterling work in support of business and the economy. And while business conditions are certainly challenging, as vice president, I am really optimistic about the positive difference the Board and Executive team will continue to make in the year ahead.”
