Commenting on the purpose of the ‘Stay Fit @ Work’ event, Toni Forrester, CEO of Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce said: “Many of our members are seeking opportunities to engage with the larger employers in the region – and larger employers, like TCS, wish to maintain strong connections to the local communities. Events like these are a great way for us as a Chamber to help create opportunities for members of all sizes and provide a way to connect, in person. We are thrilled to collaborate with TCS on the Stay Fit @Work event and hope everyone involved enjoyed the experience.”
