Young’s Seafood is looking to hire more than 400 new recruits across a variety of factory-based roles in Grimsby as production ramps up to meet consumer demand.

The positions will be spread across Young's Seafood's production sites in Grimsby and include production operatives at the company's "giga" factory at Humberstone Road.

The hiring blitz is being driven by an increase in demand for Young’s products, said the company, and the plan is to take the headcount in Grimsby from 2,500 to 3,000 by the end of 2021.
