Supporting Members and Strengthening Connections


One of the key features of the new website is the Members Directory, which gives businesses greater visibility and makes it easier for members to connect, collaborate, and do business locally.


The directory provides a valuable platform for showcasing the wide range of businesses that make up Ballymena Chamber’s growing membership, from independent retailers and hospitality venues to manufacturers, professional services, consultants, healthcare providers, logistics companies, agri-food businesses, and many more.


By improving access to member information, events, applications, and updates, the new website will help strengthen connections across the local business community and ensure businesses can make the most of their Chamber membership.

“Our priority is always to support our members and promote business across Ballymena and the wider area. Our new website will play an important role in helping us communicate more effectively, share news and opportunities, promote events, and make it easier for businesses to connect with Chamber and with each other.”

Rodney Kernohan, Director of Gazelle Communications, said:

“As a local Digital Marketing consultancy and Chamber Member, Gazelle Communications are delighted to work with Ballymena Chamber on the development of its new website and member's Business Newsletter. The aim was to create a modern, fully responsive platform that not only looks professional, but also makes it easier for members and local businesses to access information, engage with events, and promote business across the Ballymena area.”
