He has sold the trading business and also the Kerry property from which it operates, which he owned separately, as part of the deal.He said he is moving back to Dublin for family reasons: “Most of my life is in Dublin but the business is in Kerry.
Mr Healy bought the business in 2004 and expanded it. He said he was not fully aware of the McKillen company’s exact plans for the business, but he suspected it would be “business as usual, but with more business”. Me Healy said he will stay on for a “transitional period” to help with the handover of the business. Documents filed this week suggest he and his wife,, will each receive severance payments of €46,385. Mr Healy will also be repaid loans to the business of €182,822.
Accounts for the trading business show it was paying Mr Healy rent of €40,000 on the premises that he has sold to the McKillens. He had personally guaranteed more than €330,000 of its debts, while the trading arm had net assets of €510,000. McKillen Corporation said it intends to continue “making wonderful chocolate” at the business. It has appointed Breffney O’Dowling Keane, a former food blogger, as the new chief executive of Skelligs Chocolate.
