Hilton Food Group is uniting its seafood businesses across the North Sea, with the chief executive of a recent acquisition to head up the division.
Andre van der Padt, chief executive of Foppen, will become managing director of the Hilton Seafood entity, based in Grimsby.
The FTSE-listed red meat specialist bought the unified Seachill and Coldwater business in the town in 2017, adding the Dutch smoked salmon operation late last year in a £77 million deal.
