A native of Clongeen in south Wexford, Ed worked in the UK, Australia, and the US before returning to Ireland and joining Snap Printing as an equity partner and chief executive. Later, Ed was chief executive and co-owner of Home Instead Senior Care and the video game retailer, CeX. 

Returning to Wexford a few years ago, Ed set up GreenTech HQ, which is a not-for-profit passion project to drive economic growth and help create worthwhile and future-driven jobs in the county.

Vision for County Wexford Chamber 

At the Chamber’s AGM, Ed outlined his vision for County Wexford Chamber, which follows on from his current work, which includes advocating for the business environment in Wexford as well as increasing support for entrepreneurs and businesses which contribute so much to the local community and which is often not appreciated by Government and understood by the public.  

One of Ed’s first jobs will be the launching of the Chamber’s Strategic Plan 2026-2028 in early December. Ed is keen for the Chamber to partner with relevant parties to achieve the Chamber’s objectives to foster economic growth. These key objectives will be all about helping create the ecosystem with many initiatives to help new and existing businesses to thrive and create high quality jobs for our young people to live, work, and stay in Wexford. 

Ed also looks forward to profiling the many Wexford business success stories to provide inspiration to others and illustrating Wexford as a fantastic location and supportive environment for businesses.
