2 Sisters Food Group claimed a key role in helping a stranded gamekeeper survive sub zero temperatures in the Cairngorms mountains, last month.
Working as a gamekeeper, Josh Wilkinson was used to working in freezing conditions. But his ordeal began after his snowmobile broke down in the Cairngorms, Invernessshire, forcing him to spend a day enduring temperatures of -6°C.
Wilkinson survived 22 hours in freezing temperatures and blizzard conditions “thanks to his energy-giving properties of his favourite Rocky biscuits”, said 2 Sisters.
The gamekeeper faced his ordeal, on ground above 3,000, with just a flask of tea and two Rocky biscuits until he was found by rescuers the following day.
The 22 year old explained: “I’d packed the biscuits for my lunch, but they saved my life.”
Rocky biscuits are produced by 2 Sisters subsidiary Fox’s Biscuits. Commenting on the story of mountain survival Fox’s Biscuits’ md Colin Smith said: “We call the Rocky ‘the biscuit bar of champions’ and in this case it couldn’t be more fitting.”
