Pudding firm hires 5 ahead of relocation

An Irish-owned food business has hired five staff ahead of its move to a huge new factory which will help it target massive export growth.

Jimmy Allen, managing director of De Roiste black and white puddings based in the Ballyvourney gaeltacht in Co Cork, said his family business has, in just three years, outgrown its 100 square metre premises.

“We have been lucky enough to secure a new factory, a 1,100 square metre premises in Ballyvourney, and we hope to move in before Christmas,” he said.
