Businesses invited to shape further supports at ideas over coffee event in West Mayo

Participants will have the opportunity to share challenges, network with peers and directly influence what comes next.

Business owners, entrepreneurs and remote workers are invited to take part in an ideas over coffee session in Westport that will directly inform and lead to practical mentoring, training and management development supports they can later access themselves.

The pilot initiative, delivered collaboratively by Local Enterprise Office Mayo (LEO Mayo), Connected Hubs, Leeson Enterprise Centre and Westport Chamber, will run from 9.30am to 11am at the Leeson Enterprise Centre on Thursday, March 26. Rather than a formal presentation, the session is designed as an open conversation where participants set the agenda and discuss the real challenges facing their businesses.

This event is open to companies and entrepreneurs based both in and outside of the Connected Hubs network, including remote workers and microbusinesses. Local Mayo businesses interested in contributing ideas for future mentoring, training, and management development programmes are also welcome to attend.

“This session is about listening first. The most effective supports are shaped by the people who use them, so we want to hear directly from business owners about what will make the biggest difference in 2026,” said John Magee of LEO Mayo.

“The strength of our business community lies in its willingness to share insight and support one another. This event creates the space for those conversations to shape tangible outcomes,” said Geraldine Horkan, Leeson Enterprise Centre.

“The Chamber is proud to support an initiative that puts business voices at the centre of decision-making. We encourage anyone with ideas or insights to come along and be part of shaping what supports look like in 2026,” said Dermott Langan, President of Westport Chamber.

Participants will have the opportunity to share challenges, network with peers and directly influence what comes next. Registration is not necessary, you can just turn up on the day.
