Wexford’s economy emerges as strongly as possible
local sales to stay in business.
In choosing to support them, we can help to save businesses and keep people in jobs, thereby helping ourselves by sustaining the local economy on which we all depend.
‘It is critical that every single person in Wexford plays their part to ensure that Wexford re-emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic as soon as possible’, said Fiona Lewis, CEO of the County Wexford Chamber which has launched an initiative called ‘Reviving Wexford’, as its response to ensuring the revival of the Wexford economy.
The Chamber is working on a retailer specific initiative to support shop owners and managers to get their businesses back up and running and to look to the future.
‘But initiatives need public support and everyone in Wexford can at this stage help by shopping local. This will ensure that the money spent stays in the county’, said Fiona, adding that County Wexford Chamber vouchers for local businesses can still be purchased,
The Chamber’s ‘Reviving Wexford’ survey, which will be published shortly, shows that retailers are very concerned about the impact that the increased practice of shopping online will have on their sales going forward.
Retailers who do not yet have an e-commerce platform are advised to contact the Chamber for assistance.
Shoppers who are restricted from leaving their homes due to cocooning or self-isolating requirements and have no option but to shop online, are asked to seek out Wexford businesses with online services and shop with them as their first consideration.
