Why Businesses Love Wicklow
Recent years have seen Wicklow Town boom in terms of new businesses settling down in the town and making it their home. Everyone from artisan producers to larger chains have identified the potential for prosperity in the town, and in turn this has made the Wicklow community look inwardly and ask ‘what is it about us?’
What is it about Wicklow that attracts businesses and makes them stay?
Wicklow’s Enterprise Centre and Local Enterprise Office are two hugely valuable resources for businesses at any stage in their life. Both organisations give business owners access to supports that include informative training courses, mentoring, financial supports, accounting and payroll services, and much, much more.
The Wicklow Chamber of Commerce are famously pro-active in ensuring that business goes swimmingly for its members and that the local economy flourishes. With a yearly Shop Local campaign and much effort poured into establishing a digital marketplace for Wicklow, the Chamber of Commerce are always thinking of ways to innovate.
The Location
Easily accessible to Dublin but standing entirely on its own two feet as a flourishing economy and quality of life, Wicklow has always been an attractive prospect for those wishing to reap the benefits of both rural and metropolitan lifestyles.
Working from home isn’t for everyone, and neither is embarking on an hour-long train journey to and from work in the city. Workspace is a co-working space in Wicklow Town that allows business owners to rent office space, network with other businesses, gain access to mentoring, and attend informative seminars and events that prove valuable to business success.
