Teresa Fernandez has been appointed aquaculture and fisheries manager at Hilton Seafood UK.

Fernandez has been with the company for 2.5 years as its aquaculture specialist and was previously a biologist at The Scottish Salmon Company, after working as a graduate at Dawnfresh Seafood.

Hilton Seafood UK, previously trading as Seachill, was acquired by Hilton Food Group in 2017.

The Tesco chilled-seafood supplier reported a strong start to the year, helped by pandemic-inspired consumer shifts and a rise in retail sales.
