Lion Capital, the owner of Young’s Seafood, has suspended a number of members of the management team at Border Laird, the sister company of Cumbrian Seafoods, which it bought out of administration in December.

Young’s Seafood confirmed the suspensions to The Grocer but would not identify who had been suspended or reveal the reason for the move.

“A number of members of the management team at the Border Laird, Amble site have been suspended pending investigation,” the Young’s spokesman said. The ‘investigation’ was internal, he added.

The revelation comes a week after Lion ann-ounced plans to make up to 555 redundancies.
