NetApp IHQ Cork Celebrates Local Business at Festive Christmas Market

On December 4th, NetApp International Headquarters on Albert Quay was transformed into a festive wonderland, hosting a Christmas Market that brought together a selection of Cork's fantastic independent women-led businesses. The event showcased the creativity and craftsmanship of 13 local vendors, each contributing their unique flair to the Christmas season.

The market featured an array of delightful products, from handcrafted ceramics and artisanal food and drink, to bespoke artwork and natural cosmetics. The atmosphere was filled with warmth as visitors from NetApp and neighbouring companies explored the stalls and connected with the passionate entrepreneurs behind each business.

In addition to these talented vendors, we had the pleasure of welcoming a local school, whose budding entrepreneurs brought their own festive spirit to the event. The students sold Toy Show goodie bags, adding an extra layer of excitement to the market and their presence was a highlight of the day.

We were also honoured to partner with Good Shepherd Cork as our charity for the event. Through the generosity of our attendees and the efforts of our volunteers, we raised €3,800 for Good Shepherd Cork. This contribution will help them continue their vital work, making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.

The festive Christmas market at NetApp IHQ Cork was a celebration of community, creativity, and compassion. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the vendors, the local school, and Good Shepherd Cork for their participation and support. Together, we created a memorable day that captured the true spirit of the season.

NetApp IHQ wishes all Cork Chamber members a joyous holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
