Kerry Group - the Irish food company behind Wall's sausages, Mattessons and Cheestrings - has reported a 35% increase in full-year pre-tax profit to E298m (£224m) on sales up 6.7% at E4.8bn (£3.6bn).

Its brands outperformed market growth rates in convenience and food-to-go sectors in UK and Irish markets, the company said.

“Working closely with our customers, Kerry successfully managed the inflationary input cost environment through prudent pricing actions and a range on supply chain efficiency improvements,” added CEO Stan McCarthy.
