Dixons still seeks to sell Irish mobile unit as profits slide

Electrical goods group Dixons-Carphone is still looking for a buyer for its iD Mobile arm in Ireland after seeing core group sales and profits slump in the first half of its financial year, writes George Percival

The group, better known for its Carphone Warehouse, Currys and PC World retail brands, has been looking to dispose of iD Mobile — a mobile virtual network operator, which uses the Three Ireland network — and pull out of the Irish mobile communications market since June. A spokesperson said the process is “ongoing”.
