Randox, the County Antrim healthcare diagnostics company, had another strong performance in 2014 with pre-tax profits of just under £13m.

That was just marginally below the firm's record profit in 2013.

Turnover was up slightly from £91m to £92m.

Randox is one of Northern Ireland's major exporters, shipping to 145 countries.

The firm continued to spend heavily on research and development, with its total R&D spending just over £8m in 2014.

At the end of 2013, the firm bought the former Massereene army base in Antrim to develop into a manufacturing and research facility.

Randox's owner Dr Peter Fitzgerald bought the 1,200 acre Dundarave estate in north Antrim in 2014.
