SWEETS AT SEA

Around 150,000 litres of Mackie’s luxury ice cream was sent offshore in 2018 to give those working on the oil rigs a taste of home. It is estimated that over 1.5 million scoops of their ice cream were consumed at sea with the sweet treat being served in many oil rig restaurants. Mackie’s supplies its ice cream to firms like Entier, the catering giant which services the Scottish offshore industry. The firm’s sales grew by 13% last year.
