Kevin Sheridan: 'I'm ignoring the UK market; it's just not worth it'

Kevin Sheridan tells Cáit Caden about the 30-year growth of Sheridans Cheesemongers, from market stall to household name with 20 retail establishments and plans for future growth

Export is an aspect of the business but the UK market was once very important for Sheridans Cheesemongers.

A queue of customers poured from the front door of Sheridans Cheesemongers and stretched down St Anne’s St in Dublin over the festive period as the business celebrated its 25th Christmas in that spot.

The business, run by brothers Kevin and Seamus Sheridan, was created almost 30 years ago after they both got a taste for the hospitality business and saw the growing interest in artisan foods in the Irish market ahead of the boom years.
