A Grimsby pet food manufacturer is scaling up operations by relocating to new premises and increasing capacity as it targets significant growth at home and abroad.
Specialising exclusively in fish-based products for dog treats, Skipper’s Pet Products was launched by experienced fish merchant and industry entrepreneur Steve Moore a decade ago. He spotted an opportunity to repurpose by-products from fish destined for the dinner table back in 2013.
Now with pet ownership having rocketed through the pandemic, turnover up 500 per cent and the team growing from eight to 20 over the past year, a larger site has been taken on South Humberside Industrial Estate with support from Finance for Enterprise and the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund it manages.
