Supporting Champion Green
Champion Green is a movement that aims to inspire the people of Ireland to keep prosperity in their communities by supporting local businesses.
Promoting the #Shoplocal message on Black Friday.
The Champion Green campaign promotes support for small businesses to keep prosperity in our local communities.
For every €10 spent locally, it can generate €50 for your local community. Currently, 70% of online sales in Ireland are being spent abroad.
‘Black Friday is traditionally a day when we start our Christmas shopping online. It is even bigger this year with month long offers and consumers eager to buy Christmas presents early. Local businesses are adapting and innovating, with everything from online sales to personal shopping, zoom consultations, direct marketing and home delivery. They deserve our support and together we can make this a Green Friday to remember.’ Marian O’Gorman, founder Champion Green.

I met Avid Partners through a local business networking group. We had been using the same accountants for years and found that in these harsh economic times that we were not getting good enough value or service. We were very impressed by the company's professionalism and enthusiasm and genuine interest in helping us get the most out of our business. As a result we are now clients of Avid Partners and are thrilled with our decision. -

Avid Partners have given us great advice, help and support and respond to our day to day queries with speed and efficiency. We feel it was a great move for us to change to Avid Partners.
