History

BEDG Ltd was established in 1994. The main object for which BEDG Ltd

was established is to create an enterprise culture in the community by

encouraging initiatives specifically geared towards supporting existing and

new enterprises. Maximising local and regional resources thereby expanding

opportunities for the unemployed, through the provision of support and

training facilities, to participate fully in the economy while contributing to the

maintenance and growth of viable sustainable jobs.

In 1994 BEDG employed a Manager to provide advice and support to the

unemployed seeking to set up small enterprises in and around Balbriggan.
