“I believe that the Waterford Chamber is an excellent conduit, to raise basic issues that are relevant to the South East Region as a whole, for example the granting of University status for the WIT and addressing the issue of Planning in the city, both of which are vital to the future success of the South East.
They have brought agencies, companies and people together, and present a unified position, strengthening the voice of the city and region.” John Fagan, Regional Director – South East, Bank of Scotland (Ireland)

“As reflected in the Chamber Gateway Status Conference & many other events, Waterford Chamber is unafraid to ask the hard questions and to act upon the issues which are pertinent to Waterford’s development. The Chamber’s role in promoting Waterford steps up a notch each year and hopefully this will continue. The financial services sector is doing well in Waterford but the potential is immense and the Chamber will continue to play a key role in promoting the attributes of Waterford as a City in which to locate. The Chamber is also very strongly supportive of WIT in its bid for University status, a development that is vital for Waterford's future well-being. I look forward to seeing what’s next on the Waterford Chamber agenda.” Jim Power, Chief Economist, Friends First, Chamber Member & Dublin Ambassador
