Espersen CEO ‘confident’ of turning around fortunes of Iceland Seafood UK operations following acquisition

The Danish giant is looking to break into the UK chilled retail and foodservice markets with the acquisition and will use its economy of scale to bolster the business, CEO tells IntraFish.

"We are confident – we are very aware the UK market is difficult and the economy in the UK is difficult, but when you make an investment like this it is not something that is six months or 12 months it is something for the long horizon," Espersen CEO Klaus Nielsen told IntraFish.
