Good News Thursday - 26th March 2009

Okay - so it’s Friday. But the good news is that it was mental this week so only calming myself down on this gorgeous Spring Friday. Thankfully, there are companies out there that don’t believe spending on marketing is a false economy.

Let’s get straight to some good news.

1. Recruitment is still alive & well with SMEs…..

Mor Solutions, an award winning web development agency based in Drogheda are looking for talented PHP Web Developers. Check out the recruitment page of Mor Solutions for  more information.

Virgoe McInery, an award winning landscaping company (Bloom 2007 & 2008) is looking to hire experienced and qualified landscapers. Contact 01 840 7674 to learn more.

2. Baggot Street Businesses to create a ‘Cheers’ environment on street

Marketing Network, a marketing services company located on Baggot Street is hosting a Network evening in Larry Murphys Bar, at 5.45pm on 23rd April. As Roisin at Marketing Network explained “there are so many businesses on Baggot Street, so why not meet up, get to know our neighbours and maybe create business or networking opportunities with our neighbours.”  Contact 01 690 9000 for more information.

3. Drogheda Chamber/Drogheda Independent launch shop local initiative

The Drogheda Chamber and Drogheda Independent launched their ‘Think Drogheda, Shop Local’ campaign. The campaign is not to tell readers of the DI or members of the Chamber where or how to spend their money - but simply asking them to Think Drogheda before they spend and consider the benefits of shopping local.

4. Strategic Alliances that are working for the benefit of SMEs…

Today more than ever, managers need to know how to lead their staff and make everyone feel part of a team. Surpass Consulting and Xtreme Ireland have teamed up to help companies build up leadership, behavioural skills and team playing abilities…outside of the boardroom.
