And the Portadown firm also announced the acquisition of Brennan Refrigerated Transport in Waterford, adding five lorries to its existing fleet of 60.

It's opening up the new site in Portadown at Charlestown Road, where it has 200 employees.

The company will be relocating from its current premises on Vicarage Road, Portadown, but has said it will keep the original premises.

Managing director Patrick Derry said Brexit was not the sole reason for the expansion.
