Statement from Nolan Seafoods (UK) Ltd
"Nolan Seafoods (UK) Ltd confirms that, due to volatile and unpredictable salmon and white fish market conditions and the loss of a major customer contract at short notice, regrettably it has had to inform staff of a planned restructuring of the company’s operations and the potential for redundancies.
"The company is exploring a number of options to minimise the impact on the workforce and to ensure the short and long term viability of the business. It has entered a period of consultation with staff and hopes to limit the number of redundancies to fewer than 40 of its 217 staff."
George Nolan, Chairman of Nolan Seafoods (UK) Ltd, said:
“We are communicating fully with our staff and working with all representatives to ensure that employees receive as much information and support as possible during this difficult period.
“The company remains committed to providing quality service levels to our existing customers while exploring opportunities to develop new business.”
