Sony’s sports technology firm Hawk Eye’s profits soar

Pre-tax profits at Hawk-Eye, Sony’s sports technology firm best known here for its use in adjudicating scores in GAA championships, soared last year by 36% to £4.42m (€5.99m).

New accounts filed by Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd show that profits leapt as revenues increased 24% from £10m to £12.5m in the 12 months to the end of March 2015.

The rise in business was driven by a massive jump in business outside the UK.
