Icelandic Seachill fish job cuts planned in Grimsby

Icelandic Seachill employs more than 1,500 people at three manufacturing sites in the town.

It makes own-label fish dishes for most of the UK's major food retailers as well as owning the Saucy Fish Co brand.

The company said it was reducing its workforce after a review of its operations due to a "drop in consumer demand for ready meals".

The job losses are at the firm's Meals West site on the South Humberside Industrial Estate, BBC News said.

The firm is to enter into a 45-day period of consultation over the cuts.
