A ten-year-old girl who took matters into her own hands after a crisp manufacturer discontinued her favorite flavor has been rewarded with a year’s supply.

Grace from Edinburgh wrote to the director of Taylors Snacks after the manufacturer stopped producing the haggis and black pepper flavour.

The company, previously known as Mackies Crisps, had scaled back production so the flavor would only be available in winter.

However, the 10-year-old’s persuasive letter clearly paid off, as the company agreed to keep the flavor on supermarket shelves all year round.

And for the successful campaigner, Perthshire-based Taylors awarded her an extra treat: enough free haggis and black pepper crisps for the coming year, delivered in style in a black cab.

Mr Taylor said: ‘When Grace’s letter landed on my desk, I was overwhelmed by her enthusiasm and initiative.

‘The Taylors team put their heads together to see how we could celebrate our biggest haggis and black pepper chip fan and can’t wait to show her and her family around our factory here in Errol.

“It wasn’t just Grace who reached out, though. Our customers told us en masse that they were missing their favorite haggis and black pepper snacks.

‘We loved that people took the time to tell us how passionate they were about the flavour. From letters to emails and phone calls, many people contacted us to talk about their love of haggis chips and to ask if they could come back.

‘We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to ensure our customers don’t miss anything and are delighted to announce that haggi chips are back on shelves.’

Grace’s mother Becky, whose surname was withheld, said: ‘It’s fantastic that the team at Taylors took the time and effort to respond and it really made our days.

“It also helps Grace see the power of communicating with creativity and care.

‘Grace was the one who came up with the idea to write to James and to get such a great response, it really validates and strengthens her.

‘These little things can really have a huge impact on a young child’s life.

“We look forward to visiting the factory soon and learning how our favorite snacks are made.”
