The Scottish Shellfish Marketing Group, the UK's premier producer of shellfish, supplying supermarkets, wholesalers and restaurants, has a new chairman. Michael Laurenson, formerly vice-chairman succeeds Walter Speirs who held the position for 14 years. Speirs will remain with the SSMG as a director.

Said Laurenson: "Demand for Scottish mussels, scallops and oysters has never been stronger, especially over the festive season. Our new ranges of international recipes are making a huge impact in every major UK supermarket, and our innovative packaging of fresh mussels has transformed the market."
