By GlobalDataWH Ireland CEO Phillip Wale said: “The division continued its transformation programme during the period under review, which has been both costly and challenging for the business but I am pleased to see the progress that has been achieved to date.

However, looking forward, it has resulted in a more robust and scalable operating platform from which to build the division.”
