Small to medium sized businesses in Galway are more positive about their future then they were in April of last year.
That’s according to the Ulster Bank Business Confidence Survey, an all island and regional survey that tracks the confidence of small to medium businesses.
4 out of 10 businesses in the West are more upbeat about 2008 with nearly half expecting to perform better this year.
Over 20% of the companies say their positive outlook is due to expansion plans and 15% say it’s down to a sizeable amount of business in the pipeline for the year ahead.
