We had the pleasure of hosting a group of businesses who are all involved in food, drink or tourism in Donegal.
The Donegal Food Coast is an award winning initiative spearheaded by Donegal Economic Development working closely with the private sector.
The visit allowed us to learn what has made them successful and also look at collaborations between the two areas. Whilst only here for two days they enjoyed a packed agenda and some of the best that Ayrshire has to offer.
Chamber members were generous with their hospitality and time both on visits and at The Gathering which brought businesses from both sides of the water together.
Particular thanks go to our members The Gailes Hotel, Dowhill Farm, Culzean Castle, Souter’s Inn, AD Rattray, Braehead Foods and Cookschool, The Scottish Maritime Museum, History Tours, and Brownings the Bakers.
This was a return trip from the area we had visited last year.
As part of our continued role in the Scottish Chambers International Partnership initiative, we are looking to join forces with other Chambers on visits to Sweden, Florida and Georgia, USA. Please get in touch if you would like more information.
Ayrshire members can participate in a national programme of trade visits and we circulate all details via our website as they become available.
Together we’re working to put Ayrshire businesses on the map! #WellConnected
