“It is our belief that a fish-loving nation is a happier and healthier nation, and we look forward to introducing Young’s to more markets around the world.
“I would also like to thank Malcolm Lofts for his valued contribution to Young’s. During his time in the business, Malcolm has been instrumental in seeing Young’s through many important phases on our journey to becoming the UK’s number one fish and seafood business. His leadership, counsel and friendship is greatly appreciated both within the business and in the industry as a whole.”
