Just to keep you in the loop here my dear. From the BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/8540480.stm. The Mericans continue to take over!
Norwich-based Kettle Foods crisp firm sold for £400m
Norfolk based firm Kettle Foods, which makes Kettle Chips crisps, has been sold for £400m.
UK production of the food was set up in Bowthorpe, Norwich, in 1992. The site now employs 407 people.
A number of companies bid for the firm, previously owned by a private equity company, but San Francisco-based Diamond Foods won.
Diamond Foods president Michael Mendes said he welcomed their talented team of employees to his organisation.

That's what happened to Cadburys - in one of the factories where there had been an 'undertaking' to keep it open.NineOneFour wrote:...and then promptly laid them all off.

Of course Kettle is a much smaller company. Nice 'chips' though!

I'm not crazy about the Kettle crisps - good flavours but too thick-cut for my liking.
