One of the largest seafood processors in Scotland, employee-owned Aquascot has supplied the Waitrose & Partners supermarket group with Scottish salmon and trout since 1993, and we are now expanding our operations to provide this fresh & frozen seafood to customers across the foodservice market.

Our foodservice sales partner FusionFSM are market specialists, and work with clients in a range of sectors, including hotels, restaurants, staff dining, pubs, universities, healthcare and events. Aquascot’s high-specification facilities, range of trusted farming partners and vast experience as a processor equips us very well to offer a range of quality seafood to customers across these industries — from healthy fillets at significant scale to specially-prepared, high-end offerings and whole fish for 5-star hotels and restaurants.

As an essential business during 2020’s COVID-19 situation, Aquascot’s production has continued at high scale throughout the year and they have ensured that robust and ongoing support is available for their partner employees and the local community. As 2021 approaches, they are continuing to grow and evolve as a business — as typified by this expansion into the foodservice market — and take great pride in being a major employer in the Highlands of Scotland.

Andy Wilson, Head of Marketing, Sales and NPD at Aquascot said: “We are very excited to partner with FusionFSM and the wealth of knowledge and experience that they bring. There are lots of synergies between the two businesses on methods of doing business and we hope to find similar partners in Foodservice with whom we can grow successful supply relationships.”

Anne Wright, Commercial Director for FusionFSM said: “Aquascot brings a great range of high quality salmon products to the Foodservice market. FusionFSM are very excited about working with Aquascot and the key opportunities for this outstanding range of products. The quality and consistency of the range will open significant opportunities with customers within the foodservice and hospitality market.”

Aquascot became fully employee-owned in 2016, and is now one of Scotland’s largest and most prominent businesses with an employee ownership structure in place.

Our expanding operations and emphasis on innovation and continuous improvement are all hallmarks of this approach, and foodservice customers are sure to benefit from this ingenuity and our proactive teams in all areas of the business.
