Grimsby's finest head to NASF

A delegation from the town’s proud primary industry are to join the 10th anniversary celebrations of the North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF), in Bergen, the Grimsby Telegraph reports.

A total of 650 delegates from 35 countries – representing more than 370 companies – will be present at the event, which takes place on 3-5 March.

Simon Dwyer, who is UK representative for NASF, said: “The UK has a strong tradition of catching, processing and farming seafood and it is hoped that other seafood and associated businesses, old and new to the conference, will join colleagues from the industry to celebrate the conference’s 10th anniversary, network at the fabulous lunches and dinners that are provided and develop their intelligence towards the seafood sector.

"Finally, at the end of day one of the conference, the organiser will host a UK reception for delegates that will be a platform for Seafish to share more information about World Seafood Congress 2015.”

A pre-event cocktail reception is also being planned to further the word of the town, and the UK industry as a whole.
