Seafood processor Flatfish has bought home delivery specialist Regal Fish Supplies, a neighbouring Grimsby business.
The Japanese-backed entity, led by Stansfield family, has swooped for the direct sales operation which has processing facilities on Thorold Street, along from where Flatfish has massively expanded a former bakery site.
Regal, headquartered in Barton, takes telephone and online orders from across the UK, and boasts a customer-base of 70,000, with a fleet of vans and an 86-strong team serving up the town’s famous dishes. It launched in 1989, 10 years after Steve Stansfield, now joined by brother Richard and son Reece, set out his first stall on the old pontoon.
