Hi all !!!
Relaxing on my Sunday night off I thought I would share with you what I am reading......this is probably old sox to you but I find it fascinating !!! There's a magazine published every two months called Business Plus... in the latest edition it reviews the top 50 private business firms in Cork.....let me now quote you......"Musgrave Group (no. 1) is by far the most successful privately owned company in Cork and last year the trading performance was very satisfactory. Turnover increased 4.5% to €4.6 billion, of which €4.1 billion is attributed to retail brands and €0.5 billion to cash and carry and foodservice. The pre-tax profit was ahead by 14% at €81m and net debt was reduced by €139m. According to chief executive Chris Martin, Musgrave has now recorded eight years of successive profit growth, delivering a compound annual increase in profit before tax of 17%. Martin added:"The investment in our brands, together with the approach of our entrepreneurial retail partners working and living in the communities in which they operate, is generating sales growth in all our markets." Musgrave Group supports more than 3,000 stores accross eight retail brands. in Ireland, Super-Valu and Centra retailers had combined retail sales of €3.3 billion in an overall grocery market estimated to be worth between €13 billion and €14 billion. Musgrave is also active in Northern Ireland, Britain and Spain. A notable innovation for Musgrave in the past year was opening the first dedicated foodservice cash and carry in Ireland and there are plans to roll out others accross the country. According to Martin, this year the group and its retail partners in Ireland will invest in excess of €180m in new stores and in the development of existing stores and infrastructure to meet anticipated customer demand."......The Musgrave Cork KESP team are the Number One TEAM working for the Number One successful COMPANY.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Musgrave has been part of the business community in Cork for the past 130 years and that's something that we are very proud of. As businesses get bigger, it can often mean losing touch with where they have come from. For Musgrave however this is not the case and even though we have established operations in overseas markets including the U.K and Spain we have never lost touch with our roots in this city," says Musgrave Group Chief Executive Chris Martin.
According to Martin, continued investment in the Cork region is crucial. "Significant investment has been made in infrastructure, which was badly needed. I beleive it is very important that the incoming government continues this investment in the city and it's environs. Businesses in Ireland are forward looking, innovative and very dynamic. Policymakers and politicians need to recognise this and provide the same level of support to the indigineous sector as there is for foreign direct investors" he says |
