Two of Currys Irish stores in revamp

DSG International – the company which operates the electrical retail chains Currys and PC World – is ramping up its “transformation” project in its British-based stores, but investment will be initially slow in its Irish operations.

The updating of 30 Curry’s outlets in Britain last year showed vast improvements in profit margins.

DSG’s latest set of results – for the year to the start of May – were published yesterday, showing a pre-tax loss of £219.3 million (€256.2m), which was down from a loss of £259.7m the previous year.
