Building supplies group Grafton has reported record annual results for 2021, partly driven by a strong performance in its Irish division, which includes the Woodie’s DIY retail chain and Chadwicks builders’ merchants business.

Grafton posted a 25.6% increase in annual group revenues to just over £2.1bn (€2.5bn), with adjusted pre-tax profit ahead by more than 83% at £268.6m.
