UK seafood processor Young’s Seafood is launching a major recruitment drive as it bolsters staff numbers to meet the demand of major new long-term contracts, reports Grimsby Live.

The new positions were outlined when Young’s secured a supply deal with Marks and Spencer (M&S), despite major doubts following a subsequent contract loss with Asda.

After Five Star Fish’s Easter bombshell that it was closing, with 390 jobs put at risk, Young's moved quickly to secure the salmon and coated fish business.
