Accounts filed with the Companies Office by Thomas Flynn & Sons, the Mullingar-based agribusiness, show the company’s animal feed business recorded pre-tax losses of €1.5m. Flynns manufacture some 15,000t of feed each year and had annual sales of €6.7m for the year ended June 2017. The business made an operating loss of €1.4m.
Based on these losses, directors in Flynns commenced a restructuring plan over the last year.
In January 2017, the Co Meath-based feed merchants Drummonds took over the animal feed business from Flynns.

In May last year, Flynns commenced the phased exit from its machinery business. The company will now focus on its fuel distribution and retail business, which remain profitable.
