THE McVities TollCross factory has been producing biscuits for over a century. It was bought out first by United Biscuits and then in 2014 by a Turkish holding company, Yildis, and relaunched as part of the Pladis Group.
In March 2020 I stood along with millions of others and watched the world have one big panic attack.
We were told there was a virus called Covid-19 out there that had the potential to kill us all. Suddenly hand sanitiser, pasta and toilet rolls became precious commodities.
While millions of workers were put on furlough, I was told, along with my work colleagues, who weren’t shielding, that we were now officially “feeding the nation” and had to go into work.
