European Fisheries Fun (EEF) has helped many fishing companies to reach their goals and Devon seafood company is on of them. Through the EFF scheme the company received 40 per cent towards the cost of the £1 million expansion project, which means it can now extend its product range to offer pre-fried, breaded and battered products to the food service and retail markets.
Managing Director, Ali Hannaford said that their expansions would not happened without valuable support from the European Fisheries Fund. He also informed that before the extension we were often approached by customers asking for pre-fried fish products but we weren’t able to meet this demand.
The new extension also offers additional space that can be used for freezing large quantities of fresh fish, which could also be of benefit to the South West economy, as Ali explains, “I’m passionate about using locally sourced produce wherever possible and much of our fish comes from the South West.
