Heritage

 

We are the largest UK family fresh & frozen fish processors based in Hull since 1982. We have grown the business organically in the city of Hull on the Humber, a centre of fishing industry excellence.

 

Our modern factory is only a short distance from where our Chairman Walter Simpson famously began selling fish in the early 1980s with little more than a telephone booth as a sales office. Many of these suppliers we still work with which maintains our quality, sustainability, & traceability.


It was the beginning of a business that now employs 80 & entered 2009 with a £21m turnover supplying retailers such as Aldi, Iceland, & Zona Sul of Brazil.
Our employees are our biggest asset & many have grown with the business. Their tenacity & innovation ensure we surpass our customers' expectations. We've recently invested in a dedicated NPD Kitchen to showcase these talents.
Walter's son Dean now runs the business on a daily basis & he has ambitious plans for the future.

 

We are proud of our company's growth & we remain close to our roots with support for the local community, including sponsorship of professional, amateur, & youth rugby league.
