Supermarket chain owner takes over as chamber chief

A SUPERMARKET group owner has taken over as president of Waterford Chamber of Commerce and vowed to forge closer links with other bodies in the south-east.

Anne Marie Caulfield is director of the Caulfield McCarthy Group, one of the largest SuperValu chains in the country, and has succeeded Tom Murran at the helm of the Waterford Chamber.

At the chamber’s 224th AGM in the Granville Hotel, Ms Caulfield paid tribute to her predecessor and said that, although the business community was struggling with the economic downturn, member-to-member business should be encouraged and mutual support is vital in these times.
