Skelligs Chocolate

Kerry-based chocolate and confectionery producer, Skelligs Chocolate, has been acquired from owner Colm Healy by a business entity connected to the McKillen Corporation.

Skelligs Chocolate currently employs approximately 25 people and makes a range of confectionery for the Irish market that is sold at retail outlets such as Avoca and Brown Thomas. Colm Healy has sold the trading business and also the Kerry property from which it operates as part of the deal.
