Aquascot more collaborative approach to working together . Our teams are able to put their heads together to solve problems faster . It is a much closer way of working which embraces the spirit of cooperation .
“ To give a concrete example ,” John continues , “ we purchase and process all of Waitrose ’ s Scottish salmon , this gives us the control to ensure that the products fall within our leading welfare , sustainability and ethical guidelines . Because of our unique position we are able to drive that across the industry , which in turn builds integrity into the whole process . Waitrose knows and trusts that our standards are aligned with theirs and that they receive an exceptional fully processed product .”
Looking further afield John expands on the company ’ s ambitions moving forward : “ We are looking to finetune the business as we expand into other products and new customers in the short term . Longer term we will be diversifying further and embracing our brands like Shore as they are certain to present great opportunities . As we create innovative new products and our brands grow we want to be well known across all of UK retail .”
Emerging from humble Highland origins , Aquascot has not only survived ,
but thrived , thanks to its employeeowned structure . This has allowed the business to not just constantly improve its processes to remain at the leading edge of the industry , but also to generate bold and exciting ambitions for the coming years . ■
