Killowen Farm Wins Irish Food Award’s
In news that could stir the pot, Wexford yoghurt and cream cheese producer Killowen Farm has been named the winner of the Love Irish Food Brand Development Award for 2022, a prize worth €150,000.
The award is run in partnership with outdoor advertising firm Global. Killowen is led by ninth-generation dairy farmer Nicholas Dunne, who started producing yogurts in 2004. At Killowen Farm, the award-winning live yogurt is made using milk from the farm’s own herd of cows.
The award provides Love Irish Food member brands, which support over 12,000 jobs in the Irish food industry, with the chance to win a fully funded national Out-of-Home advertising campaign from Exterion Media through its strong retail network, as well as receive trade marketing support from Checkout magazine.
Kieran Rumley, executive director, Love Irish Food, said: “The Love Irish Food Brand Development Award is a most unique Irish food industry award. In recent months, companies will have felt a dramatic increase in input costs, leading companies to urgently review their bills of materials and unit costs in forming their plans for the year ahead,” he said.
Killowen Farm CEO Nicholas Dunne said: “We are absolutely thrilled. As a whole factory here – like all businesses – it’s been a very difficult few years. To come out of it with this award is phenomenal. We’ve never had this type of money at our disposal for mentoring, outdoor displays and advertising.”
