Marcus Coleman is to leave his role as Chief Executive Officer of UK non-departmental public body (NDPB) Seafish in December this year after a decade in the post.
Under Coleman’s leadership, the organisation stepped up to assist seafood businesses through turbulent times brought on by Brexit, Covid and evolving geopolitical situations. Seafish was recognised in recent years in the Sunday Times Top 100 organisations to work for.
Upon leaving Seafish at the end of the year, he will take up a CEO position in another organisation.
Speaking about the move, Coleman paid tribute to staff at Seafish, saying: “I have had the enormous privilege to work alongside dedicated and committed colleagues who wholeheartedly believe in the UK seafood industry and work tirelessly using their knowledge and expertise to support the sector in all its different constituent parts.
“I would also like to thank members of the Seafish Board, past and present, who have always supported me and my executive team as the organisation has continued to evolve and improve.”
Seafish Chairman Mike Sheldon said: “Marcus has ensured that the highest standards of corporate governance have been upheld at Seafish while also being a great champion for the seafood sector. His contribution is widely appreciated and I thank him for his service and wish him well in his new role.”
Seafish will shortly launch the process to identify a successor.
