3 1 Reflections, 1905-beyond 2005 “In the year 2005, M.&P. O’Sullivan Ltd. celebrates one hundred years, which creates a significant milestone in the company’s history. As a thriving and established third generation cash and carry with an excellent reputation, the company has played and will continue to play an integral part in the wholesale-grocery history of Cork. The Company has not only been a partnership between directors and staff but also with the people of Cork and Munster. We have seen great support from customers over the last century. We still have an association in the retail sector of the tobacco industry. Grocery trade is now ninety per cent of our trade but the tobacco shop, established in 1905, has survived but has left its Princes Street home to Academy Street. With increased sales, we are going forward in a positive way. We are delighted to be part of the Stonehouse Group, which has helped in no small way in sustaining our reputation for high quality products, especially with the introduction of Homestead and Caterer’s Kitchen Ranges. James and Pat O’Sullivan receiving the Checkout and Stonehouse Awards, 2003 With close connections in Cork business circle, we are very proud of Cork at this particular point in time. Buildings and streetscapes are improving for the better. Cork has become a better place to live and work in, hence creating a proper atmosphere for businesses like M.& P. O’Sullivan to thrive. We must keep Cork and our company as places of vibrancy and to sustain the energy and enthusiasm that has brought the company to celebrate one hundred years”.
