Norwegian Seafood Council appoints new UK director
VICTORIA Braathen, the Norwegian Seafood Council’s envoy in China until last year, is to take up a similar post in the UK.
She replaces Hans Frode Kielland Asmyhr, who has been the council’s British Director for the past four and a half years. He will leave in the summer.
Victoria Braathen has held various international posts since 2016, but undoubtedly her most important and challenging was working in China, much of that time during the height of the pandemic.
Meanwhile, the Seafood Council has also appointed a new envoy for Portugal, one of Norway’s most important markets for salted fish. He is Trond Rismo, who has worked for the Council for the past six years in various positions.
