Keogh’s Crisps plans to boost production by 50% in response to a surge in demand.

Tom Keogh, chief executive of the family-owned firm, said it is set to top last year’s record revenues as sales continue to rise. He hopes to have the additional capacity up and running by September, which will lead to the creation of up 12 new jobs.
