Food, Drink & Hospitality

The fast-paced F&B and hospitality sector in Ireland has provided PKF Brenson Lawlor with many opportunities to showcase their expertise in the industry, especially when it comes to M&A, taxation, audit and valuation services.

The food and beverage industry in Ireland is one of the country's most important and dynamic sectors, renowned for its high-quality produce, strong export performance, and deep ties to agriculture. It encompasses everything from artisanal producers and craft breweries to major dairy, meat, and beverage exporters.

While the sector has proven resilient, it continues to face challenges such as supply chain pressures, labour shortages, shifting consumer preferences, and the need for greater sustainability across operations.

The hospitality sector in Ireland is a vital component of the economy, closely tied to tourism and local employment. It includes hotels, restaurants, pubs, and event venues.

The sector has rebounded strongly following the COVID-19 pandemic, supported by both domestic and international travel. However, it continues to face challenges such as rising operating costs, staff shortages, and the impact of VAT and regulatory changes.

Our team has the experience of working closely with professionals and business owners from these industries, offering expert guidance and practical support to help navigate a dynamic landscape.
