Guild Areas & Presidents

Local leadership. Shared experience.

The Business Owners Guild is being built as a network of locally led business-owner communities.

The Business Owners Guild is beginning with Dublin 15 as its first local activation within Fingal, with additional Guild communities now forming.

Each Guild area has its own President, drawing on the wider experience, resources and international perspective of The Business Owners Guild and The Alternative Board.
