Being honoured at the recent Blas na hÉireann national food awards is valuable recognition of product development at local chicken processor Westen Brand, according to Thomas Kirrane, account manager at the firm.
The company took a silver award for its 300-gramme free-range chicken breast fillet, supplied to major international retailers like Tesco.
Tesco has commended the company on the award, said Kirrane.
“For the likes of Tesco it’s great for them to see their supplier winning this prestigious award,” explained Kirrane.
The award is also a great help for the company to develop its relationship with other major retail clients, he added.
Western Brand is developing new products "all the time,” said Kirrane, and hopes to launch new products in Dunnes and Lidl later this Autumn.
