Kerry seeks renewed growth from Tralee base

KERRY Group has no plans to forsake its Tralee roots by transferring its headquarters to the US.

That assurance was given by group chief executive Stan McCarthy, who launched another set of impressive trading figures for the group’s first half year in Dublin yesterday.

McCarthy, who has continued to live in the US since becoming boss of the world’s biggest food and flavourings business, said the group’s “heritage” was of huge importance to the group and that meant it would remain firmly anchored in Tralee, Co Kerry. By setting up a head office in London or the US “we’ll lose all that”, he insisted.
