Omagh Chamber of Commerce and Industry About Us

Message from the Chamber President
Marcus Isherwood 

"It is a great honour to take on the role as President of Omagh Chamber of Commerce at this exciting and challenge juncture in the development of our economy.

 

 Omagh Chamber of Commerce has really evolved with the countless hours of work done by past presidents and chamber council members into a strong network and lobby on important issues.

 

 An important piece of work I am passionate about is the development of the former MOD lands at St Lucia and Lisanelly into an area that represents the best possible public use. The groundbreaking educational village could add a unique selling proposition for Omagh both now and for generations to come. This really could be our point of difference.

 

I am fortunate to have so many great people assist the work of the Chamber and without this dedicated voluntary help none of our progress would have been possible.

 

We continually are looking for new members if you are interested please contact us.

 

We will continue to build on the solid foundation that has been laid since our establishment and by the many Past Presidents to secure a bright future for Omagh Chamber of Commerce and the people and businesses of Omagh."
