Bank brings Enterprise Town initiative to Navan

The Bank of Ireland Enterprise Town business and community expo is taking place in Navan's Claremont Stadium this Friday and Saturday.

Events kick off at 3pm this afternoon and continue until 7pm, and resume on Saturday from 11am until 3pm.

It is shaping up to be a great couple of days with well over 100 local businesses, community associations, sports clubs, local State support agencies and many more exhibiting over the course of the two days.

The business expo on Friday is a great business networking opportunity for anybody running their own business or considering starting a business and will include free business advice clinics, keynote speakers (including leading entrepreneur Gavin Duffy of 'Dragon’s Den') and lots of spot prizes.

The community expo on Saturday will be packed with activities for all the family including sports blitzes, demos, exhibitions, entertainment, face-painting, food, spot prices and lots of fun.

It will be attended by a numbers of sports stars, including Shane Horgan (former Leinster, Ireland and Lions rugby star) and champion jockey Johnny Murtagh.
