Barry Group turnover rises to €241m

CASH-AND-CARRY wholesaler the Barry Group saw profits increase last year in what it described as a tough trading environment.

Managing director, Jim Barry, said the firm’s expansion plans are, however, being hindered by a lack of available credit from banks.

Turnover at the Cork company, which owns the Carry Out off-licence brand, increased 16% to €241 million for the year to the end of January last.
