Largo Foods takes on extra workers

Largo Foods in Ashbourne (Ireland) has taken on a further 36 workers at its Kilbrew plant and expects to create up to another 80 jobs by next summer with its new 'Tayto Fun Park'.

The manufacturers of Tayto and Hunky Dory crisps have reported an 11 per cent increase in sales of Hunky Dory crisps following their recent controversial advertising campaign, which featured rugby-playing models and have now introduced new weekend shifts at the Meath plant, increasing the workforce by 36.

Meanwhile, the company is planning to open the Tayto Park, a fun park with a visitor centre, lakes, an Indian Village, children's playgrounds and other attractions in September.
