A Scottish snack brand has revealed plans to double the size of its Perthshire factory this year, despite recruitment and supply challenges.

Errol-based Mackie's at Taypack, which makes crisps, popcorn and other snacks, said the expansion would allow it to ramp up production of key lines.

The move has come after Mackie's reported a 22% increase in annual turnover last year, to £10.8m.

It now produces more than half a million packs of product per week.

The firm was formed in 2009 as a standalone joint venture with Mackie's of Scotland, the Aberdeenshire ice cream and chocolate producer.
