One of UK's favourite crisp makers, Tyrrells Potato Chips, could not escape damage. Its potato crops, grown near Leominster, were under inches of water as torrential rain swept across the region.
The company, which provides products to more than 4,000 independent retailers across the country, has yet to find out the true severity of the floods but expects water damage to some of its crops.
It says staff are concerned about the extreme rainfall but are confident the chip production for the year would not be affected.
