Support services firm DCC sees profit of its remaining divisions increase by nearly 3% 

Donal Murphy, chief executive of DCC, with Kevin Lucey, the firms chief operating officer, and Conor Murphy, chief financial officer.

DCC, the Dublin-headquartered support services firm, saw an 2.9% increase in adjusted operating profit during its most recent financial year driven by growth in its energy division.

The firm is made up of three divisions; energy, technology, and healthcare but in April it announced the sale of its healthcare division in a deal worth just over £1bn. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to complete in the third quarter of this calendar year.
