Co-op can plug into boom

DAIRYGOLD Co-op shareholders are in the happy position of plugging directly into the unstoppable Celtic Tiger economy, through the booming DIY and property sectors.

While the economy prospers, their Alchemy Properties and 4HOME Superstores divisions have the potential to raise Dairygold’s overall profitability, even if difficult trading conditions continue in their dairy processing and agri-business.

The co-op has done well to get the non-core businesses up and running quickly, in place to benefit from continuing annual growth of about 5% in the Irish economy.
