A family-run seafood firm expanding its operations in Grimsby has won a King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
Tony Horner’s Ideal Foods Ltd has been named in the prestigious list as it celebrates a record year, with revenues of £22.4 million. The company has traded internationally for more than 20 years, exporting fish, shellfish and byproducts to customers in more than 40 countries. Key markets include the Far East, Europe and the USA.
The town businessman set the firm up having moved to Cornwall. While the head office remains in Liskeard, the past year has seen significant expansion in Grimsby, building on operations within ACS&T’s cold storage business.
