In 2017, Carlyle Cardinal Ireland (CCI) acquired a majority stake in the Sam McCauley Chemists pharmacy company. Now, the first set of accounts under the new ownership structure show that its holding company - LXV Remedies Holdings Ltd - recorded revenues of €94.49m for the period from the date of acquisition, August 11 2017, to September 30, 2018.

ALL seven of the Sam McCauley Beauty Spas and Salons were awarded Guinot ‘Crown Salon’ status this week, meaning the Group walked away with almost half of the Irish awards at this year’s ceremony, which was held in Britain.
