Now based in a modern manufacturing base in Peterhead, Scotland, we are one of the largest independent seafood processors in the UK.  The main part of our business is supplying chilled seafood products to retailers, although we do also have a sizeable frozen value-added business supplying Retail and Food Service companies both here in the UK and internationally.

Our 75,000sq ft factory has six production lines with advanced portioning, pressure forming and shaping technology as well as a bulk sauce plant and packing line, with a freezing capacity of 100 tonnes per day. We employ more than 350 people at our 5.5 acre site, which also has an in-house micro-laboratory that has been approved by Campden & Chorleywood Food Research Association. All of the facilities are accredited to the highest BRC Grade A standards and there are extensive NPD, QC, laboratory and cold-storage facilities on site.

The company currently supplies major retailers and food service companies in the UK, as well as Europe, North America and Australia.
