Profits race ahead at management firm

Profits at the firm operated by Irish sports agent Ricky Simms raced ahead quicker than ‘Bolt-lightning’ last year.

Mr Simms, from Co Donegal, has been the agent and confidante of the fastest man on the planet, Usain Bolt, for over a decade now.

Now, new accounts show that the Jamaican’s double Olympic glory in London last summer contributed to Mr Simms’s Pace Sports Management Ltd recording a profit of £152,222 (€176,311) in the 12 months to the end of Dec 2012.
