Northern Ireland’s iconic crisp brand, Tayto, is recruiting tour guides for its Tayto Castle tours which will recommence later this year, after a two-year break.

The Tayto experience, located in a 500-year-old castle in Tandragee, is undergoing a series of updates, explained Elly Hunter, marketing director, Tayto: “With work due to finish soon we are now in a position to recruit some tour guides. We’re looking for people with a passion for Tayto, someone who has an engaging and enthusiastic personality. They should also have an interest in local history as that will help them bring our story to life for the thousands of people that will be visiting us.

“The right person needs to be able to speak confidently to small groups of people of all ages and be able to learn and retain information easily. But perhaps most importantly of all, they must possess the willpower not to nibble the crisps as they make their way down the production line.”

Tayto Castle tour guides will be required to work 15-25 hours a week at a rate of £12.50 an hour. They will take visitors on a fun exploration of the production process including a look at how the humble spud is transformed into a crisp, how it is flavoured and then packed.

Elly added: “Full training will be provided to help equip our Tayto tour guides with the skills and knowledge they need to perform their role. They will learn all about the crisp production process, Tayto’s history and how we became Northern Ireland’s favourite crisps.”
