Norwegian salmon giant Marine Harvest's decision to cut up to 100 jobs in Scotland will result in a more lean, "efficient and profitable" operation, Ben Hadfield, new managing director of Marine Harvest Scotland and global feed director at Marine Harvest, told IntraFish.
"It's about keeping the company as efficient as possible," he said. "We believe in Scotland and we're investing heavily in it."
The news was announced in a trading update last week, following a review of its business.
Marine Harvest already entered a period of consultation with staff representatives about which posts will be affected.
