Ice cream sales had totalled £16.5m in the firm's previous financial year, which covered the 12 months to May 31, 2022. Mackie’s, which has its roots in dairy farming and began making ice cream in 1986, said ice cream sales have doubled in the last 10 years. Stuart Common, managing director of Mackie’s, said: “Our recent sales success is a reflection of our team’s hard work and considered, responsible decision-making. Earlier this year, the company brought its long-standing joint venture with the Taylor family, which produced Mackie's crisps, to a close. In the meantime, we’re excited to keep making and developing Scotland’s favourite ice cream and our farm-made chocolate on the renewably powered family farm.”
