Almost 200 jobs could be saved in Grimsby with the emergence of a buyer for the Iceland Seafood UK plant.
A letter of intent to sell the subsidiary to a “respected industry player” has now been signed by parent company Iceland Seafood International, as a thorough examination of the business begins. It is hoped a deal could now be agreed before the year-end.
The significant step forward emerged out of Reykjavik this morning, and comes just over a fortnight after the company announced it was to exit the UK market, putting the significant number of roles at risk on Great Grimsby Business Park.
