Butlers serves up €2.6m in profit

Pre-tax profits at the country’s best-known coffee and chocolate firm, Butlers Chocolates increased 16% to €2.6m.

Butlers Chocolates has not filed accounts to the Companies Office in 10 years due to its unlimited status but in a break from practice, the new accounts show sales increased 7.5% to €35.5m last year.

The eight directors of the Sorensen family-owned company are also well rewarded for the company’s continuing success, with their total pay reaching €2.6m, or €325,000 on average.
