Young's was founded in 1805 by Elizabeth Young, who sold shrimp from her hat on the banks of the river Thames.

To celebrate her legacy this #IWD2024 we caught up with some of our inspiring colleagues who shared their experiences in the seafood industry⬇️

It’s #BritishPieWeek ! To celebrate we thought we’d share some facts about our favourite Admiral's Pie:

🐟One is eaten every 12.5 seconds in the UK!
🐟It’s our flagship pie, created as an ode to the Fisherman’s Pie.
🐟The Fisherman’s Pie dates back to old Britain & the Roman era.

We’re happy to share that we have been ranked as one of the top three UK companies committed to enhancing decapod crustacean welfare in CrustaceanCompassion's #TheSnapshot2023 Industry Benchmark report alongside Waitrose & Partners and M&S.

It’s been another busy year at Young’s, from launching new products, to strengthening our #CSR the entire team has been working hard.

We’re taking a break until the new year, so until then we’d like to wish all of our colleagues and customers a fantastic festive period.

Did you know our HQ is over 50 years old?

Our 135 feet high, 10 storey HQ Young's House, formerly Ross House was unveiled in #Grimsby Docks in October 1965. The building was designed with a curved frontage resembling a trawler’s bridge, as an ode to our local #fishing #heritage

Last month we had the pleasure of welcoming the Norwegian Ambassador and Seafood Council team to Young's. It was an invaluable visit which allowed discussions on future collaborative working to develop stronger links between Norway and the UK's seafood industries🐟

We've been working closely with Norwegian fisheries to advise them on an action plan for regaining their #MSC certification of inshore cod and haddock stocks. We're pleased to share, as of this month, they have gained their MSC recertification.
