Walsh Group buys Golden Mushrooms

Walsh Mushrooms has acquired the business and assets of Golden Mushrooms.

The moves comes as Ireland’s overall mushroom sector, which employs 2,539 people, copes with ongoing volatility after Britain’s decision to leave the EU.

Walsh Mushrooms Group, the second largest supplier to the British market, was founded in Gorey, Co Wexford, in 1979 and now operates across four sites in Ireland and the UK.
