Mackie’s at Taypack are bringing something slightly unusual to the Chinese market in the form of sweet crisps – their two newest products will be Strawberry and Salted Caramel flavoured potato crisps.

Those with a sweet tooth will be disappointed to hear that these more adventurous flavours of crisp will be sold exclusively in China, with no plans to be brought to the United Kingdom market just yet.

They are launching at the SIAL China Trade Show this week, which is the 4 th biggest food show in the world and will see around 80,000 visitors over the 3 days.

The flavours came about as a request from their Chinese agent who noticed a gap in the market and a demand from the Chinese consumer for a sweet flavoured potato crisp.

Although Mackie’s Crisps currently export to around 23 countries worldwide, China is their largest export market with an average of 4 containers of their crisps being shipped to Shanghai every month. Each container can hold up to 50,688 bags of crisps.

These brand-new flavours come on the back of lots of exciting export development for Mackie’s at Taypack, for which they have received lots of recognition – they were shortlisted for Small Exporter of the Year at the HSBC Scottish Export Awards this year, and have got their fingers crossed for the Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards this week where they are up for Export Business of the Year.

James Taylor, Commercial Director for Mackie’s at Taypack, commented on the exciting new flavours saying: “We are thrilled to be able to bring something so innovative to the Chinese crisp scene, as a key export market for us we are constantly investing in it and are hopeful that this bold move will pay off”.

Perthshire law firm Macnabs awarded for Will Aid effort

Macnabs, a leading law firm in Perthshire has raised more than £10,000 for charity this year after taking part in a will-writing campaign where lawyers generously give up their time for free to write Wills for local people in exchange for a donation. Macnabs has taken part in the annual Will Aid scheme for the sixth time and raised an impressive £10,795 this year in the month-long fundraiser, making them the highest fundraising firm in Perthshire and second-highest in Scotland. This is the 6th year Macnabs has taken part, raising a fantastic £33,079 to date. Partner Althea Kennedy comments: “At Macnabs we know that Will Aid helps such worthwhile causes and for us to be part of that and to give something back has been wonderful. Over the past few years we’ve raised more and more and have seen so many of our clients benefiting from the campaign. It is so important that people make a Will – without one the law decides how your estate is passed on, and this might not be in line with your wishes. “We have also signed up for the 2017 campaign and appointments are filling up fast, so if you would like to make your Will this November, please do get in touch. It is very easy to make a Will – and it will save your family unnecessary distress at an already difficult time.” Andrea Hay, Partner and Head of the Private Client team, adds: “Even if you already have a Will, it is important to update it every 3-5 years, especially if your circumstances have changed. If you now have children or grandchildren, if you are recently divorced or separated, or have a Partner but are not legally married, or if perhaps a beneficiary named in your Will has deceased, then make sure your Will reflects what you want to happen when you die.”
