Our Employers & Partners

"The UK Seafood School is a fantastic initiative, providing invaluable training for the next generation of chefs. With its hands-on approach and expert guidance, it’s set to become a leading hub for seafood education. I’m proud to support this project and look forward to seeing the talent it helps to develop."

“The UK Seafood School exemplifies the very best in partnership working, with the school working closely with the seafood business community and partners. This exemplary facility and its courses will enable students to develop specialist skills and access the many rewarding careers that the sector offers. The University is delighted to support this nationally leading skills initiative.”

“At Fastnet Fish, we are proud to continue supporting the UK Seafood School as it plays a crucial role in developing the next generation of seafood professionals. Based in Grimsby, a town with a rich fishing heritage, we recognise the importance of preserving and passing on industry skills that were once second nature to those growing up here. When Grimsby was home to the world’s largest fishing dock, opportunities to learn fish filleting and preparation were plentiful. Today, with fewer traditional routes into industry, it is more important than ever to provide structured education and hands-on experience. 

By collaborating with the Grimsby Institute and supporting initiatives like the National Seafood Chef of the Year competition, we aim to help students build essential skills in seafood preparation, sustainability, and industry knowledge. The seafood sector is a key part of the UK’s food future, providing a sustainable and nutritious protein source. Educating young people on its importance - not just as a career path but as a way to bring seafood to more restaurants and tables - is vital for the industry’s long-term success. 

We look forward to continuing our work with the UK Seafood School and supporting the next generation of seafood professionals.” 

“The Fishmongers’ Company is delighted to see the launch of the UK Seafood School, and to see it located in Grimsby, the heart of the UK seafood sector. We look forward to continuing to support the school to inspire, train and upskill the next generation of fishmongers and chefs, building on our legacy of over 750 years supporting our namesake trade.”
