Jobs For Portadown In Golden Cow Expansion
Twenty three new jobs are to be created by Golden Cow in Portadown, as part of £2.5m expansion plan.

The company has been offered £100,000 through Invest NI's Jobs Fund.
Invest NI's Director of Business and Sector Development, Brian Dolaghan, said: "This is an important strategic investment by Kerry Group, which has owned Golden Cow since 2001, in the development of this manufacturing operation in Portadown.
"The investment, which we are assisting, is a substantial endorsement of this plant and the wider Northern Ireland food sector.
"The diversification into snack foods is also significant in that it widens the plant's portfolio and positions it to bid for further new product opportunities developing from Kerry Group's longstanding focus on convenience and snack foods for key markets abroad."
