Newry Chamber announce BT as communications partner

The new partnership comes at an exciting time with BT Group’s proposed investment in its EE 5G infrastructure across NI, including Newry.

With Newry's location on the threshold of the UK and EU Markets alongside its Dual Market Access, the city is strategically positioned to become a pivotal digital hub.

The Chamber and BT recently held an event at the SRC Graduate Restaurant in Newry on what, why and how 5G can help all levels of businesses in our region and why they are investing in Newry City.

At the event, the BT Team highlighted to representatives from the local business community in attendance how productivity can be boosted by increasing both worker and equipment efficiency, reducing energy consumption and improving worker safety by using 5G to connect people and assets together to simplify business life.

Edwina Flynn, President of Newry Chamber said: “This support from BT is recognition of Newry as a key area for economic investment in Northern Ireland and the Chamber’s deep commitment to growing our local economy.”

Michael Savage, CEO of Newry Chamber added: "Exciting times lie ahead for our members and BT is committed to working with the Chamber to ensure that businesses in this region have access to the latest digital technology so that they can plan for future expansion with confidence.”

Paula Maguire, Senior Contract Manager at BT commented: “BT remains committed to Northern Ireland through its continued investment, ensuring access to connectivity for businesses when they need it most and advancing the continued roll out of 5G.”
