A strongly backed campaign to champion seafood careers in the Grimsby area and beyond has launched.
Raising awareness of the vast array of opportunities in the town’s primary industry, a focused programme of activity was unleashed at North East Lincolnshire’s annual skills fair, held this week. Government funding, strong advocacy from one of the industry’s sons in businessman and philanthropist David Ross - who heads an academy trust - and continued efforts from the cluster have led to the concerted push.
More than 1,500 pupils were able to take in the potential choices available to them at the Grimsby Auditorium event, alongside a strong presence for the green agenda and decarbonisation, where Stem subject promotion was key.
