British-based accountancy firm makes inroads into Ireland after partnering with Dublin company
A BRITISH-BASED accountancy firm has announced its first partnership in Ireland as part of wider plans to allow its British-based clients to trade in Europe. DJH was founded in 2021 with the merger of two Staffordshire firms and has since made 15 acquisitions to become a multidisciplinary team of 670 people across England. MSD Accountants in Dublin has now joined the group, providing a strong link into Britain for the Irish firm's own clients already operating there. "It is fantastic to be joining the DJH group and all the additional expertise, enhanced capabilities and international reach that comes with it," said MSD Managing Partner Richard Daly. "The two businesses share similar values of trust, transparency, quality and client service. "Joining DJH will benefit our existing clients through enhanced infrastructure and, for our clients operating in the UK, we will now have a full-service integrated offering there." Formed in 1990, MSD provides expertise in advisory, assurance, business support services and tax to subsidiaries of multinationals, mid-size private companies, family businesses and large organisations operating across multiple jurisdictions. Its team work across a range of sectors, including professional services, entertainment, hospitality, construction, automotive, distribution, IT and communications. Daly will continue to lead the team alongside fellow partner, Brendan Murtagh, and clients will continue to be supported by the 30-strong team at their Santry Business Park offices. 'Attractive access point' DJH is a top 40 British accountancy and professional services group that has ambitions to break into the top 20 within the next four years. Having acquired its first office in Ireland, the company wants to increase organic growth with MSD by extending services to existing clients and attracting new ones. It sees the Dublin firm as a 'perfect fit' to allow it to offer services to British-based clients looking to expand into Europe. "Dublin is one of the most significant financial hubs in Europe, with a strong economy, favourable corporate tax rate and, post-Brexit, it has become an increasingly attractive access point for UK firms looking to trade with the EU," said James Beardmore, COO of DJH. "We've aspired to have a presence in the city for a long time and MSD Accountants is the perfect fit, with its reputation for fantastic service and specialisms in several aligned sectors for us. "Importantly, it gives DJH multinational service capability and EU regulatory compliance for UK clients looking at cross-border planning, tax efficient structures and expanding their European operations through an Irish presence." Beardmore also believes further acquisitions in Ireland will follow on from the MSD deal. "The partnership also gives us the perfect platform to target more M&A activity in Ireland," he said.

Young people are hot for iced coffee – even when the weather isn't that warm
Almost three-quarters (74pc) of consumers in this category buy iced drinks regularly, almost double the proportion (40pc) of over-55s. The findings emerge in the latest Spring and Summer Trends and Insights Report by UK-based coffee syrup manufacturer Beyond the Bean, which looked at stores across Ireland, the UK, US, Canada, Denmark and Poland. It highlights that iced beverage consumption has surged by 26.7pc since 2023, driven mainly by Millennials and Gen Z. 'The report shows that this generation drinks cold drinks all year around – not just during the summer,' said Sheila Dowling, Bewley's Commercial Director. 'There is speculation that younger people will eventually revert to hot coffee, but I don't think that will be the case. 'If we look at sales data on Starbucks in the US, 80pc of their coffee is now served cold.' The trend analysis found that under-30s who drink iced beverages make a purchase every week, with winter consumption six pc higher than average across all other age categories. Despite the price of coffee soaring to global highs this year, Dowling suggests coffee may be an affordable luxury for younger people. 'Where people have disposable income is in colleges and university – they are more likely to spend their income than save for the rainy day,' she said. 'This year, the industry price of coffee rose higher than we'd ever seen in the Bewley's history of coffee - it more than doubled in price compared to this time last year. 'This has implications for the retailer and the customer – the price is going to affect people's pockets. 'Anecdotally, we hear that so many things have gone up in price, but coffee is seen as an affordable luxury.' Separately, the Allegra Project Café Ireland 2025 report, published in April, shows that 18.7pc of male and female respondents order iced coffee on a weekly basis, compared with 25.2pc of males and 21.7pc of females who buy hot coffee. Those living in Dublin are more likely to go iced, with 23.5pc ordering it weekly versus 16. pc outside the county. Over a third of people (31.7pc) aged under-35 in Ireland said they buy iced coffee monthly, with just 10.2pc choosing hot coffee over the same time period. To meet the growing demand for cold brew, Bewley's has spent 18 months sourcing the best cold brew product to bring to the Irish coffee market. The Bewley's Columbian Fairtrade Cold Brew process involves coffee grounds being slowly steeped in cool water, which extracts a less acidic flavour from the bean. The chemical profile and flavour are unique from conventional brewing methods because the ground coffee beans never come into contact with heated water. 'It isn't that the hot espresso over ice option is bad, but it is like comparing pink lady and granny smith apples – they're very different,' said Dowling.

Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigns following viral Coldplay concert video
The chief executive of New York-based tech firm Astronomer, Andy Byron, has stepped down after a viral video appeared to show two of the company's senior staff embracing at a Coldplay concert. The company said Mr Byron had resigned and the board had accepted it. A search for a new CEO will begin soon. In a statement, Astronomer said: 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met.' It added: 'The board will begin a search for our next chief executive as co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.' Two executives who were caught having an alleged affair at a Coldplay concert have been placed on administrative leave. Pic: Instaagraace via TikTok Tech firm chief executive Andy Byron and a colleague went viral after a video from a Coldplay concert in Boston on 16 July showed them arm in arm during a crowd kiss cam. Appearing to joke about the scene, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin commented during the show: 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' The moment quickly gained traction online, racking up millions of views and prompting widespread speculation about the identities of those involved. While Astronomer previously said Mr Byron had been placed on leave, the company stopped short of confirming whether he was the man seen in the video. The pair immediately tried to hide their identities, and failed miserably. Pic: Instaagraace via TikTok In a statement posted to X on Friday, the company said: 'The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter, and we will have additional details to share very shortly.' Astronomer also clarified that another named staff member had not attended the event and that 'no other employees were in the video.' Mr Byron has not commented publicly, despite a fake statement purporting to be from him circulating online.
