Morrisons to recruit 220 for Grimsby factory

THE supermarket group Morrisons is about to begin recruiting 220 fish process workers as its second fish production facility in Grimsby nears completion. And the jobs are across a wide range of skills.

The announcement came shortly after Young’s Seafood indicated that jobs in the town could be safe despite losing a big salmon contract.

Earlier this year, Morrisons announced that it would launch a new fish production site in the town as demand continues to grow for fresh fish in its stores.

Morrisons completed the purchase of the former Kerry Foods building in January and has invested substantially in the site.

The new plant will help Morrisons scale up its operation from 250 tonnes of fish a week to double that amount once the base is fully operational.

Jobs including production operatives, skilled engineers and warehouse managers are among the 220 roles that need to be filled.
