Quinn chief not worried by Brexit

Ireland: Liam McCaffrey, the chief executive officer of Quinn Industrial Holdings does not expect Brexit to slow growth. He said that the most damage could arise from a prolonged recession in the UK, although he though it was unlikely, as reported bythe Irish Times newspaper. He added that the UK has a housing shortage and it relies on imports for building materials. In his estimation the worst-case scenario would be a tariffs on building materials but these, if they happened at all, are expected to be low.

The building materials producer and owner of Quinn Building Products reported that its turnover grew by 7.4% year-on-year to Euro209m in 2017. Its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBTIDA) increased by 31% to Euro23.9m.

“Despite the significant macro-economic challenges posed by Brexit, we continue to invest, grow sales, innovate and drive margin growth. Encouragingly, volume growth trends from 2017 are continuing year to date in 2018 and, at this point, we are firmly on track to deliver our fourth successive year of strong earnings growth,” said McCaffrey.
