Members of County Meath Chamber’s Meath Business Owners Network recently enjoyed a guided visit to the newly opened Kells Printing Works, a unique heritage and cultural facility recently opened by Meath County Council recently in Kells.
The group was warmly welcomed by Loretto Guinan, Meath Heritage Officer, along with Mark Smith and Megan O'Connor who hosted the visit and provided an engaging tour of the restored printing machinery and the beautifully developed facilities.
The visit offered members a valuable opportunity to learn more about the history of printing in Kells, the significance of the restored equipment, and the potential of the Print Works as a space for learning, creativity, enterprise and community engagement.
A productive discussion also took place on how County Meath Chamber’s business network can collaborate with Kells Printing Works in the future, creating opportunities to connect local enterprise with heritage, culture and innovation.
Speaking after the visit, Paula McCaul, CEO of County Meath Chamber, said:
“I first visited Kells Printing Works back in 2019, ahead of the restoration project, and I remember being overwhelmed by the significance of the building, the machinery and the story it held. To return now and see the impact of the investment and care that has gone into restoring this important heritage asset is truly inspiring. Kells Printing Works is part of the irreplaceable heritage of Meath and an asset for future generations. Congratulations to all involved in the project, and to Meath County Council for its continued commitment to preserving and reimagining this remarkable place for the benefit of the wider community.”
County Meath Chamber looks forward to continuing the conversation and exploring future opportunities for collaboration with Kells Printing Works.
