International food business hopefuls sought for programme

Ambitious individuals, with an interest in building an international food or drink business in Ireland, are being sought for Food Works 2015.

It is a business development and training programme designed especially for food and drinks company start-ups, jointly run by Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland and Teagasc. Food Works 2015 was officially launched at the new Wicklow Wolf Brewery in Bray, Co, Wicklow — it participated in last year’s programme and has just opened a 3,700sqftt brewery.

Wicklow Wolf plans to create 16 new jobs over the next few years to support its growing business.
