Marketed extensively under the Willowbrook Fine Foods brand it is a welcome addition to Northern Ireland's developing range of branded foods.
"This development also represents a significant boost for Northern Ireland’s £4.5billion food and drink industry offering worthwhile employment opportunities in the Killinchy and wider Co Down areas.

Overall, the 55 new jobs, which will be in place over the next three years, will have an average salary of around £19,000.
