Open day at Limerick community enterprise centre

A POPULAR Limerick community enterprise centre has held an open day to show off its facilities.

Croom Community Enterprise Centre (CCEC) threw open its doors to the public in order to showcase its hot-desking facilities, boardrooms and meeting suites.

Local TD and OPW Minister Patrick O'Donovan also attended, where he was met by the chairman of the board of management Mike Mangan and the chief executive of the local community development association Patricia Ryan.

At present, the centre hosts nine local business and regional offices for national and multi-national companies, while other firms take desk space on short-term lets.

Ms Ryan said: "Such hubs are invaluable to the local economy of a small town, CCEC benefits Croom whether it is the tenants using local businesses or allowing the local companies to stay locally both for office space, interviews or meetings".

Mr Mangan added that the centre is a member of both Engine and Connected Hubs and so part of a larger network of business hubs offering spaces for people to work.
