County Durham fish supplier Collins Seafoods Limited has seen its turnover jump as customers returned following the pandemic.
The Newton Aycliffe-based business, which has been supplying frozen fish for more than 30 years, has published accounts for 2021 showing that turnover rose from £41.7m to £45.8m, with operating profit also jumping from £365,382 a year earlier to £1.027m. Pre-tax profit also almost trebled, from £351,608 to £1.021m.
Total comprehensive income at the firm was £828,889, up from £281,810 and shareholder funds also increased from £8.7m to £9.6m. Speaking in the company’s accounts, director Gustaf Baldvinsson said the firm changed its name during the year from Collins (Seafoods) Limited to Collins Seafoods North East Limited as part of a re-branding exercise across the Collins Seafoods group, aimed at further enhancing the company’s existing strong reputation.
