Kerry Group shares can keep outdoing those of rivals

Outgoing Kerry Group boss Stan McCarthy yesterday pointed to bright times ahead for the Tralee-based diversified food group, as he prepared to formally hand the running of the company over to chief executive designate Edmond Scanlon.

Keeping ahead in a rapidly changing food industry will be Mr Scanlon’s biggest challenge.

After posting a decent set of first-half results, all eyes will now turn to the unveiling of Kerry’s five-year growth plan on October 11.
