An attendance of 277,000 at this year’s National Ploughing Championships will have a positive knock-on impact for all the small businesses who were attending the Local Enterprise Village last week. The Local Enterprise Village, an initiative of the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) in local authorities across the country, saw over 30 small businesses from LEOs given the opportunity to showcase their products and services to the massive crowds that visited Ratheniska in County Laois last week.
Waterford company, Mac Safety Signs from Local Enterprise Office Waterford, were one of over 30 Local Enterprise Office clients from across the country who exhibited in the Local Enterprise Village at this year’s National Ploughing Championships in Laois last week as Europe’s largest event returned for the first time since 2019.

Anne McGuire of MAC Safety Signs felt the Ploughing Championships were a major success, "The Championships were a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase our products and services to the large number of visitors that Ploughing attracts. The LEO Village was the perfect location to network, meet potential customers and generate leads".
