Plymouth Fisheries, the English fresh fish market, has promoted two staff members to new management positions as part of a reorganisation aimed at improving the way the business operates.
The fisheries complex, which is operated and owned by Sutton Harbour Holdings plc, has appointed Nick Eggar to the role of fisheries manager, while former fisherman, Joe Ransley, has taken up a newly created position of lock and wharf manager.
Nick Eggar, fisheries manager, said: “Our main priority is to work with the fishermen and with Plymouth Trawler Agents to get the catch off the boats as quickly and as efficiently as possible. The new staffing system will help this to happen, ensuring Plymouth Fisheries is the best place in the country to land and sell your catch.”
These two appointments are a result of a reorganisation of company management following the departure of Bob Read, deputy harbour master, earlier this year.
The Plymouth Fisheries complex was built at Fish Quay 22 years ago in 1995. It sustains 565 direct and indirect jobs and contributes £22.6 million a year to the city’s economy, selling more than 6,000 tonnes of fish every year.
