Grimsby’s second largest seafood business saw sales soften slightly from a lockdown boost as UK consumers’ reliance on supermarkets for fish fell away.
Seachill UK, which now trades as Hilton Seafood UK following a 2017 acquisition, turned over £330.6 million in 2021, down from the heightened £346 million achieved through the pandemic. It dropped marginally below the pre-Covid year’s sales of £332.4 million.
The leading supplier to Tesco and other major retailers, saw operating profit fall from £10.6 million to £8 million.
