Young’s supports World Seafood Congress

The event is set to attract hundreds delegates from around the world to Grimsby, UK, for a packed programme of speakers, debate, networking, training and activities from the 5-9 September 2015.

Paul Williams, Chief Executive at Seafish said, “We are delighted to announce that Young’s have joined this exciting project as our platinum sponsor. They are a long-standing, highly respected and prominent voice of the industry here, both in terms of its long heritage and its exciting future.

“The Young’s brand, with its iconic headquarters at Ross House, is synonymous with Grimsby. This Congress will place this region in the spotlight as a centre of innovation and commercial importance in the seafood industry, so it’s absolutely right that Young’s play a central role in supporting the Congress and showcasing the town.”

World Seafood Congress brings together a global audience of seafood processors and importers, academia, public and private organisations, fish inspectors and government. Each day will see discussions in trading initiatives and developments in the seafood sector.

Discussions in innovation insight will be linked to training and skills requirements for the sector and where further opportunities lie. New product development in seafood and technology, as well as innovation and quality management in the industry will also feature throughout the event programme.

World Seafood Congress was officially launched at the Humber Seafood Summit on 17 September. The call for papers is now open and a range of sponsorship packages are still available.
