Food company to recruit extra staff due to export expansion

A WESTMEATH company is to recruit additional staff due to the expansion of its export business.

Speaking at a visit to Mr Crumb, a small food company manufacturing premium bread stuffing and speciality foods in Finea, Co Westmeath, the Minister for Agriculture, Brendan Smith, praised the initiative consistently shown by the company since its foundation in 1996.

“Mr Crumb identified an opportunity in a category which was in decline and succeeded in growing the business year on year to a point where the company has now a state of the art factory with 47 employees and has ambitious plans to recruit an additional 20 staff in the next few months,” he said.
