Irvine Bay talks business - 3 Towns

Irvine Bay highlights regeneration benefits to local firms

Last year, we launched a highly successful series of business and networking events. Now the Irvine Bay talks business series is back for 2010!

Designed especially for business people in the Irvine Bay area, this is the ideal opportunity to come along, meet other local businesses and hear what Irvine Bay is doing in your area.

Brian Keating, project director of 'The Ayrshire' golf complex will also provide and update on progress and explain how the development will benefit the area.

At the Ardrossan event, the 3rd event in the series, attendees will also hear from Joe McLauchlin - a local business person who has already benefited from the work of the regeneration company. Together with Jett Vivere, he has plans for the Phoenix Art gallery in the refurbished former Jack Miller building and they hope that their vision will help attract other artists to the building.

The events are expected to last around 1 hour and will include a question and answer session. Teas, coffees and refreshments will be served afterwards allowing time for networking and one-to-one discussions with Irvine Bay staff.

Chief Executive Patrick Wiggins said: “This year’s series of business events build on the terrific success of the three initial meetings last year, which were each attended by around 140 people.

“These meetings allow us to keep local businesses up to date with our activity and progress, and with the opportunities that work can present for them.”
