UK sales boost for Louise Kennedy

The fashion firm operated by designer Louise Kennedy last year enjoyed a €310,000 increase in profits due, in part, to affluent Middle Eastern and US clientele purchasing latest designs from her London store.

Ms Kennedy counts Kylie Minogue, Beyonce, and Meryl Streep as customers. Newly-filed accounts for her holding company Signum show accumulated profits last year increased by €310,000 to €1.6m.

The group operates high-end retail outlets in Dublin and London. Its cash pile more than doubled last year to €846,182.
