The company specialises in providing high quality filleted fish to its customers throughout Europe. The new skinning machine will increase the efficiency, quality and appearance of its filleted fish, which will help secure and expand its customer base.

The project will also benefit the local fishermen by adding value to approximately 50% of its product range ensuring that prices at auction are maximised for the local fleet. The project will create one extra job for the company.

Alison Elvey, Objective One Fisheries Programme Manager, stated, "Every bit of value added to locally landed fish will help Cornwall’s fishing industry as a whole. Small projects like providing a skinning machine can help merchant secure customers and grow their businesses and so such projects should be encouraged."
