to Mr. Buttercrane, Peter Murray who is retiring today after 38 fantastic years at the helm of Buttercrane Centre as its Centre Manager.

Peter is a true gentleman who has made an immense contribution to both the economic and social fabric of Newry City.

In his role as Centre Manager of Buttercrane Centre, he has always been a person of the utmost integrity with a steady head, a big heart and a passion for our city and its people. Always a pleasure to work with.

A former Chamber President and Board Member and NEWRY BID Chair, the huge role that Peter has played in taking our city through the most troubled of times to the best of times, cannot be stressed enough.

Peter will be sorely missed, but he's more than earned a well-deserved rest. We wish you and your family all the very best for the future and enjoy your retirement.

SkillBuild challenges participants to demonstrate their technical ability, precision, teamwork while working under pressure, helping to raise the standards and profile of professional and technical education and training.

to host both the Infrastructure Minister, Liz Kimmins MLA & Caoimhe Archibald MLA, Minister for the Economy at a special event with our Corporate Patrons in The Whistledown Hotel in Warrenpoint.

Kindly supported by The Exact Group, Kilmorey Care, Southern Regional College & S&W Wholesale provided a unique opportunity for our Corporate Patrons, which includes many of the leading employers from across Greater Newry, to meet with the two Ministers.

Greater Newry can capitalise on huge opportunities for economic growth in the coming years if the significant challenges can be overcome through a partnership approach with local Ministers and greater funding collaboration with the UK & Irish governments.

That was the clear message that resonated from a positive 'Meet The Ministers' event with the theme of the day, 'Developing Greater Newry into a Sustainable Economic Powerhouse on the Dublin-Belfast Corridor'.

Following the Ministerial Q&A with the Chamber CEO, Michael Savage, a thought-provoking panel discussion took place on the theme with great contributions from Anthony McVeigh, Ronan Callan, Lee Campbell and Cathal O'Neill and moderated by our Board Member, Deborah Loughran.

Greater Newry has huge potential to deliver economic growth over the coming years and yesterday's event demonstrated the Chamber's commitment to working collaboratively with our partners in Government and maximising that potential.

The Chamber would like to thank both Ministers for taking the time out of their busy schedules to come and engage with us and we look forward to continuing this positive engagement over the coming months.
