Following its round of ‘Discussion with Industry’ workshops in October, Seafish has announced a series of further meetings with industry representatives where it plans to outline the proposed future direction and structure of the organisation.
The meetings, which will take place across the UK, give Seafish the opportunity to explain the outcomes from the October workshops, the impact they will have on Seafish, some fundamental changes the organisation plans to make, and some ideas on future strategic direction and desired outcomes. Industry representatives are once again being encouraged to attend to gain a comprehensive insight into the future of Seafish, and take the opportunity to discuss the key elements with representatives of the organisation.
The dates are:
Penventon Hotel, Redruth (1230)
Seafish Office, Grimsby (1300)
Scottish Fishermen’s Federation, Aberdeen
Shetland Aquaculture, Lerwick
Billingsgate, London
Burndale Hotel, Newcastle, County Down
Bangor University, Bangor
Seafish Office, Edinburgh
All meetings start at 11:00 apart from Redruth, which begins at 12:30 and Grimsby, which begins at 13:00, and will last approximately 1.5 hours. Representatives of the industry interested in attending should register with Seafish by emailing t_jordan@seafish.co.uk or calling Tricia Jordan on: 01472 252 317.
Paul Williams, Chief Executive of Seafish, said:
“We have been greatly encouraged by the excellent response from industry to this Discussion process so far, and thank all those who have participated. This has provided strong guidance on our future direction, and we look forward to meeting with stakeholders over the next few weeks to share a routemap for the organisation which they themselves have helped to shape.”
Should people be 'stimulated' to eat white fish alternatives to cod?
