Despite the fact that the dairy brand is one of the leading Irish yoghurt names in Ireland, the company said that over 20% of its business is based in the UK.

“There is a lot of uncertainty around Brexit, however, what we do know is that the UK market will always be Ireland’s nearest neighbour," Kingston said, "and so the two countries will continue depend on each other after an agreement is ultimately reached”.

The West Cork based business also produces country butter on its family farm.
