'Please Share :) Many thanks to You Tuber s125ish for sending these Scottish food items. Check out what Luke and I thought of Mackie\'s Crisps! Mackie\'s Crisps: http://www.mackiescrisps.co.uk The Mackie’s Crisps story goes back many years… to when the Taylor family began farming in Perthshire in 1927, to them teaming up with Mackie’s of Scotland in 2009, and beyond. It was way back in 1927 that the late George Taylor began farming in Perthshire, having bought Moncur Farm in Inchture. Who’d have known this would end up being the Headquarters of a flourishing crisps business? Mr Taylor’s grandson – also called George and now the MD of our company – entered the family business and set up Taypack Potatoes, which grew to be one of Scotland’s largest potato businesses. In 2008, the Taylor family secured the sale of Taypack Potatoes and set their sights on the snacking sector. It just so happened that the Mackie family were also thinking about entering the snacking sector at that time. It took just two meetings for the families to agree that Scotland didn’t need more than one premium crisp business. Our joint venture company – Mackie’s at Taypack – was formed, with the two family businesses teaming up to create the perfect Scottish potato crisp. A small part of the original Taypack potato production site in Inchture was transformed into a state-of-the-art crisp factory, and so we began making Mackie’s Crisps… Having secured listings with all the major retailers in Scotland, we soon decided to take our crisps further afield. We began to initiate activity in international markets in 2010, including Europe, UAE and Asia. 2010 also saw us receive our first Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Award: our Scotch Bonnet Chilli Pepper potato crisps won Product of the Year. We invested heavily in New Product Development and international activity in 2012. It was in this year that our Honey & Mustard flavoured crisps were launched. We also created our first ever ‘ridge cut’ crisp, called Dippers, which came with a sachet of dip mix inside the pack. Another exciting launch in 2012 was our multi-packs – we created two different variety packs, each containing five 30g packs of crisps. We continued to grow our export business and, for the second year in a row, we won the Scotland Food & Drink Award for the ‘Retail – Confectionary & Snacking’ category. We continued to expand as a business in 2015, with even more flavours, growing sales around the world and getting some brand new equipment at our factory in Errol. Our sales in China have continued to grow rapidly, becoming our largest and fastest growing export market. As a result of this we attended the SIAL show in Shanghai to support our distributors. We were honoured to be announced as one of the UK’s Rising ’50 Food Stars’ in a new government initiative, listing us as one of Britain\'s 50 most promising food and drink entrepreneurs. An addition to our award winning Ridge Cut Crisps came in the form of a Lightly Salted crisp. Another development at Mackie\'s was a new piece of equipment in our factory - a conveyor belt installed to make our packing much more efficient. #tastetest #melbournefoodie NEW VIDEOS EACH WEEK Send Me Stuff To Test!
