Food Jobs Grimsby

Grimsby is located on the East coast of Lincolnshire and is a major port and one of the major centres of seafood production in the UK. Historically the town grew from the fishing industry and in the 1950s it was the largest fishing port in the world. There are now over 100 local companies that are involved in fresh and frozen fish production.

One of the largest food production companies in Grimsby is the Findus Group, whose Young's Seafood brand are the market leader in frozen fish with over £300m in turnover. Their products include battered fish, fish fillets and prawns. They have won several awards because of their policy on responsibly sourcing seafood, including the Seafish Award for Outstanding Achievement and a Major Commendation in the Business Commitment to the Environment Awards. Opportunities are available for new product development, food technology and packaging.

As well as major food production facilities, the area has a wealth of traditional food producers such as Alfred Enderby's smokehouse, who is one of Rick Stein's "food heroes". Fish has been smoked here for almost 100 years and the method has been refined over time to produce fish with the best natural flavour. In recognition of the unique skill involved, they have earned a Protected Geographical Indication from the European Union for their specialist Grimsby Traditional Smoked Fish.

The Food and Drink Industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the UK.

Last year, The Office for National Statistics demonstrated that the UK food and drink industry was the only sector to increase production, and that it has consistently maintained a stable level over the last two years.
